OK , I did it !
I event get the audio playing with the flex spark videoplayer component.
When I try it the following it is not working :
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<s:Application xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"
                  xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"

                  creationComplete="SuperSimpleFLVPlayer()"
                  >
     <fx:Script>
          <![CDATA[
               import flash.display.Sprite;

               private var nc:NetConnection;
               private var ns:NetStream;
               //private var vid:Video;
               private var client:Object;
               public function SuperSimpleFLVPlayer ():void
                    // Initialize net stream
                    nc = new NetConnection();
                    nc.connect (null); // Not using a media server.
                    ns = new NetStream(nc);
                    client = new Object();
                    ns.client = client;
                    client.onMetaData = onMetaData_handler;
                    client.onCuePoint = onCuePoint_handler
                    // Play video
                    //vid.attachNetStream ( ns );September Drive by Lightrocker_1.flv
                    ns.play ( 'http://xx.xx.xx.xx/vod/September_Drive_by_Lightrocker_1/September_Drive_by_Lightrocker_1.f4m' );
                    //ns.seek( 555.664 );
               //MetaData
               private function onMetaData_handler ( mdata:Object ):void {
                    trace (mdata.duration);
               private function onCuePoint_handler( item:Object ):void {
                    trace("cuePoint");
                    trace(item.name + "\t" + item.time);
