Server working, but ...

I apologize if this has been asked before.  First, I am a noob to FMS.  I have installed FMS on the server, using the defaults.  Except is Apache, as I already have IIS on my server.

If I execute:

http://www.mysite.com:1111/admin/ping?auser=admin&apswd=secretpassword

I receive "NetConnection.Call.Success", which is fine.

1. Can I use IIS, as this is my webserver, and still run FMS?

2. How and where do I place my files to stream?  Can I stream both swf and flv?

3. What is the proper url to access swf/flv on FMS server?  Am I supposed to use rtmp?  If so, firefox says rtmp isn't associated with any program.

4. Ports are open for 1111 and 1935.  How do I remotely access 1935 via http?

Thank you and again apologize for these basic questions.  I've read the lit and still need guidance.

    1. Yes

    2. You can place them either in your applications or web-sever's configured location for progessive download. You cannot stream swfs

    3. Host you swfs and access them through browser - however this is nothing to do with FMS - its simple hosting problem

    If you want pure streaming you need to use rtmp(or other flavors of it), though now with 4.0 you have choice of doing http streaming.

    There is no relation of brower settings with streaming, for rtmp streaming you need to write swf client which would do streaming. And any browser with flash player installed can load your swf.

    4. 1935 is meant for rtmp streaming and not for http.

    Okay, got it working last night.  Everything is clear once it's working (lol).

    1935 automatically refers to rtmp, so I don't need to specificy the port, just make sure it's open.

    I don't need to worry about http, as I'm only connecting via rtmp (via Flash), so that's good.

    Since I don't need rtmp, no need to worry about IIS, Apache, etc.
