When I use jwplayer with following config everything is OK.
jwplayer('someId').setup({
'flashplayer': '/js/jwplayer/player.swf',
'file': 'awesome.flv',
'streamer': 'rtmp://some.server.com:1934/vod',
'width': '220',
'height': '190'
});
When I use dojo with following config:
new Flash({
path: 'rtmp://some.server.com:1934/vod?file=awesome.flv' ,
width: 220,
height: 190
}, this.someId);
Flash place holder is visible, but no controls to play stream and in the console I can see error that have no meaning for me...
Building SWF failed.

What is wrong with dojo flash config? Another thing is how to tell dojo to use object tag? Right now it uses some strange embed tag...
Dojo version 1.7.2 documentation not that helpful http://dojotoolkit.org/reference-guide/1.7/dojox/flash.html
Dojox.embed.Flash is merely a browser sniffing utility which will present the <embed> or <object> in a way that suits the users browser the best.
Youre doing the wrong path, the Flash object would not know how to handle a streaming flv file, it needs to point to a swf.
var dataurl = "player.swf"
var flashvars = {'file':'playlist.xml','autostart':'true'};
var params = {'allowfullscreen':'true','allowscriptaccess':'always', 'bgcolor':'#ffffff'};
var attributes = {'id': 'player1','name':'player1'};
var expressInstall = "http://www.adobe.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=6a253b75"
This is a sample from longtail showing howto embed via swfobject:
swfobject.embedSWF(dataurl, 'flashContent', '300', '250', '9', 'false', flashvars, params, attributes);
thus from the prototype embedSWF which is:
swfobject.embedSWF(swfUrlStr, replaceElemIdStr, widthStr, heightStr,
swfVersionStr, xiSwfUrlStr, flashvarsObj, parObj,
attObj, callbackFn)
See reference guide for parameters
Mapping above results to
new Flash({
width: 300,
height: 250,
minimumVersion: 9,
expressInstall : expressInstall,
allowScriptAccess: true,
path: dataurl,
id: 'player1',
vars: flashvars,
params: params
}, 'flashContent');
