Answer 1

It can be played in Flash. Here's a tutorial from Adobe:

Modified steps from the article for your specific situation:

1. Select File > Import > Import video. The Import Video Wizard is displayed.
2. Select "Already deployed to a web server" and enter the URL.
3. Click "Next".
4. Choose the skin you like and "Next"
5. Click "Finish"

Note that this is not streaming video. This is just a plain old progressive download video. Streaming involves using a server component that sends video packets requested by the client and can provide server side seek and pause functionality among other features. When you just load a video onto a web server, the video is downloaded like any other asset (like an image), and played by the client.
