I'd advise first of all to think about the next: do you really need a
live streaming? Live streaming is required if:
-- you need to broadcast a live (not recorded) video to the Internet;
-- you need to prevent your video from saving at user's computer.

If you don't need either of above, then I'd recommend to use a
progressive download method, if you don't need to have a random access
to your video segments (quick navigation across the movie) or so
called HTTP Streaming technology, if you need a random access to your
movie (forward/backward seeking). This last case requires a special
(though rather simple) AS code writing and a special (also very
simple) script at your web server. You can learn about how this method
works for example here:

HTH!
