flash (macromedia): My department is new to Flash, but we've now been creating basic Flash Videos
for websites for a few months. We've always encoded our videos to FLVs (Flash
8), and then used the Video Import Wizard in Flash 8 to import those FLVs into
our FLA document. We now need to be able to error-check all of our files (each
video comprised of four files: an HTML file, an FLV file, and two SWF files
including the player skin) to make sure that progressive videos are indeed
progressive and streaming videos are streaming.

My process thus far:
In Flash 8, I brought up the SWF file and opened the Output window; from the
Debug menu I then selected variables. I was able to find the variable
"isRTMP:false", which according to the documentation seems to mean that the
video is progressive, not streaming. However, when I authored this FLA file, I
know I chose the streaming option (FVSS not FCS) in the Video Import Wizard.
Am I looking in the wrong place? Am I confused about the meaning of this
variable?

Bottom line, how do I determine after authoring whether an SWF is streaming or
progressive, and moreover whether it's been authored to use FVSS or FCS?

If it is streaming then the video FLV file is on a streaming media server.
If it is progressively streamed you should have an external flv file along
with the container swf.

progressive streaming is a type of streaming, but not true streaming

I'm sorry, perhaps I was a little unclear. The files are all still stored
herelocally, since they have not yet been deployed. I'm looking for some
property of the SWF file (maybe visible through Component Inspector?) that will
tell me how it has been authored. Is there any place in the SWF file itself
that contains this information (since the files are not yet deployed)?
