According to an article here on adobe's site the Flash Media Server has the ability to track file plays.

"Tracking, reporting, and logging capabilities: Because progressive download is just a download of a file, you can't easily log specific relevant statistics such as how long the video was viewed; if the user navigated forward, backward, or paused the video; how many times the viewer played the video; if the viewer left the web page before the video completed playing, etc. Streaming enables you to easily capture this important data."

How do I access this data and use it to report to clients? Also how have you tracked flvs that are being played via progressive download housed on a web server?

    FMS stores the log in logs/access.log files inside the directory where FMS is installed. however, you may have to use some standard tool to parse and filter the data according to specific requirements.
