This worked okay for me:

/*
  * start (ActionScript in frame 1)
  */

import mx.video.*;

var fish = this.createEmptyMovieClip('fish',200);
with(fish)
{
    moveTo(0,0);
    beginFill(0x0000FF)
    lineTo(163,200);
    lineTo(93,280);
    lineTo(0,280);
    endFill();
}

var flvPlayback = fish.attachMovie("FLVPlayback", "flvPlayback",  
fish.getNextHighestDepth(), {width:320, height:240, x:100, y:100});
flvPlayback.skin = "ClearOverPlaySeekMute.swf"
flvPlayback.contentPath = "http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/video/ 
water.flv";

// end

I copied "ClearOverPlaySeekMute.swf" into the same location as the  
swf I was outputting.
