stream mov/mpg from a web server using Flash

Question

I would like to create a Flash movie that streams MPG and
.mov from a location on a web server (through HTTP). I keep reading
you need Flash Media Server or a Flash Video Streaming Service
using FLV files. Can you do it without Flash Media Server or a
Flash Video Streaming Service? I.e. just stream it through HTTP
using ActionScript.

I have been working on a similar issue. I am pretty new to this software, but I have found you can download Flash Media Encoder and Flash Media Server (Free Version) to push the video to a Flash Player. The encoder is very easy to use. It encodes a stream to a file in the 'live' folder under applications. The server will pick it up from there automatically. Unfortunately, that is about as close as I have got. I can get the Flash player to find the file on a localhost, but I haven't been able to find support on how to do it from a seperate website. I know the key is in the rtmp:// address, but I haven't figured it out yet.

Don't know if this helps, but I have been digging for about a week and haven't found much that was helpful yet.
