Is it possible to resume play from any point on the progress bar in FLV player

Question

Is there a way to allow a user to move playhead to any point on the progress bar (including much ahead of the loaded portion of the movie) and resume play from there?
Presently a user can skip ahead only as far as the download happened.
Just in case there is no conflict with my set up, here is the code I have:
import fl.video.VideoProgressEvent;
stop();
close_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick_GoBackToHowTo2);
function onClick_GoBackToHowTo2(event:MouseEvent) :void {
          gotoAndPlay("howto");
SWF_flv2.addEventListener(Event.REMOVED_FROM_STAGE,stopF2);
function stopF2(e:Event):void{
SWF_flv2.stop();
SWF_flv2.closeVideoPlayer(1);  // actually, you can execute this after the stream completes, too so there's no need to check.
          play_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onClick_Play);
          function onClick_Play(event:MouseEvent) :void {
                    SWF_flv2.play();
SWF_flv2.addEventListener(VideoProgressEvent.PROGRESS,progressF);
function progressF(e:VideoProgressEvent):void{
if(e.bytesLoaded == e.bytesTotal){
trace(e.bytesLoaded,e.bytesTotal);
SWF_flv2.play();
SWF_flv2.activeVideoPlayerIndex=1;  //this assigns the player index
SWF_flv2.visibleVideoPlayerIndex=1; //this assigns the player index
SWF_flv2.source = sourceVar;  //source must come after assigning the index/s
SWF_flv2.play(); //starts buffering the sourceVar
SWF_flv2.stop(); //starts buffering the sourceVar

Besides kglad's excellant response, there is also the option to use "http pseudostreaming".
This will also give you the ability to "seek" to sections of a video file which are not yet downloaded. It is typically cheaper than using FMS or RED5, but still may require that you have a dedicated server account (which is much more expensive than a shared server account). But check with your Web host, some offer pretty good options for enabling http pseudostreaming:
