Unfortnately, Windows Media Services doesn't seem to stream FLVs:

A server running Windows Media Services 9 Series can stream the following file types:

• Windows Media Audio (WMA)
• Windows Media Video (WMV)
• Advanced System Format (ASF)
• MP3
• Windows Media playlist (WSX)

The most common solutions are :

• Flash Media Server (formerly called Flash Communication Server)
• Red5 server (OPEN SOURCE)
• Wowza Pro
• VCS
• ElectroServer
• WebORB for .NET
