No standard tool will be able to test your own application the way you describe here.

The answer however is pretty simple ; write a simple swf that can connect (automatically) to a random available instance and let it play a stream.

Since you probably developed your application yourself this shouldn't be a problem.

Next open 20-50 swf's (in 20-50 browsers) on your desktop.

Repeat on the desktops of your collegues. Open as many swf's as possible. (if your FMS server is in your LAN otherwise you'll probably will hit your bandwidth-limit soon)

This will give a very good impression of load, bandwidth and stability of your application.
