    I did. My config. below:

    1. Running FMS2.02
    2. I can run the admin service and the server fine.
    3. I tested the connection with sample app. and it is working fine. I can see the activity from the admin.
    4. I tried to use the FLVPlay back in Flash Pro 8, it will work using http as the content path, but not rtmp path. I tried the path of
    rtmp://localhost/video/streams/cat.flv
    5. The cat.flv is located at ../applications/video/stream/_definst_/cat.flv
    6. The application of "video" is loaded in the admin successfully.

    Can someone tell me where I am doing wrong ?

    Thanks in advance !

    4. I tried to use the FLVPlay back in Flash Pro 8, it will work using http as the content path, but not rtmp path. I tried the path of
    rtmp://localhost/video/streams/cat.flv

    Try this URI:
    rtmp://localhost:1935/video/cat

    Notice the absence of the streams directory, and the absence of the .flv extension.

    5. The cat.flv is located at ../applications/video/stream/_definst_/cat.flv

    It should be STREAMS not STREAM. Not sure if that was just a typo.

    Have a look in the FMS docs about the various flags that can be used with the NetStream.play method. By default, FMS will look for a recorded stream and play it if one is found. If it's not found, the server creates a new live stream with the name specified in the play method, and waits for someone to publish to it. That's why you see the stream name in the admin console. You can set a flag in the play method to tell the server to play only a recorded stream, or only a live stream.

    I'm not sure how to modify the play method in theprefab media components (I don't use them), but perhaps someone else will have advice there.

    No... you don't need an http server (like IIS) for FMS to work. Have you tried the admin console to see if the server and admin service is running?
