For this file, I am getting the prompt saying "The source compression type is not supported". Is this a problem with my system or AME simply doesn't support this format?

I don't know if this will help you or not - Media server and live streaming samples and tools | Adobe Media Server family

Adobe F4V Post Processor

Not exactly your situation, but maybe it applies?

Flash files are for distribution and were never meant to be re-edited, it is a delivery codec.

Thanks

This may be due to the codecs being used. I've converted the clips and tried, it works.

I found the tip here: source compression type not supported after record - Wowza Community

yup, flash files are difficult. Do some googling for converting flash files. The last resort is to use something like Camtasia

https://www.techsmith.com/store/camtasia?utm_source=google&utm_medium=g&utm_campaign=1524774665&utm_...

Buy Camtasia | Camtasia | TechSmith

and actually play the flash video and record it off the screen.

Camtasia is not cheap or intuitive but it works. I got it relatively cheaply a few years ago as a part of a software package so you might do some googling...
