Answer 1

But DynamicStream.as is part of the code base and the does get executed.   Jody, which version of DynamicStream.as is more current?   The one that ships with FMS 3.5 or the one in tools?
Can anyone answer my original question (I think) which is: should I be able to switch source = http://dynamicStream1.smil -> source = http://dynamicStream2.smil and back and forth etc.  It seems to work.    Are there any caveats?  I am not switching back and forth between flv-s and smil-s
It turns out that there are a couple of lines of code in NCManger.as::bitrateMatch() which is concatenating the streamName and this results in 404 on the FMS side.   I'm not sure what this is supposed to do or if this is just a bug, but the upshot was that I could not specify source = http://dynamicStream.smil on a remote server.  The uncanny part of this issue is if I serve the same smil locally, referencing remote remote smil and media, it works.  Maybe this has something to do with the bit rate.    Bottom line is that this cost me 3 days, becuase I was under the incorrect impression that you could not reference *.smil directly and I blindly followed the handrail provided by the the FMS videoPlayer sample.  Shame on me for trying to leverage working code shipped with a production version.
NCManger.as::bitrateMatch()
if  
(_streamName != null
) {_streamName += _streams[whichStream].src;
My incling is to change the += above to an = and get on with it.
If someone at adobe or anywhere can have a look and give me some other guidance, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks to Sean for the kind and detailed responses and giving me the green light that source=http://dynamicStream.smil _should_ work.
Thanks to all.
