If your broadcaster is running windows. I can help you.

I can stream any swf to netstream, but user requires directX and my MFC application.

Maybe try posting your flv on any free html server (like lycos) and then use that as a link in your flash file. You will then be streaming the file from the net on to your pc so itl be acting like a client.

[springframework]

can this be done?

Yes, but not if the only language you can use is Flash api. I'd choose Red5 and a java servlet post, followed by server prep/read and stream out to connected netstreams.

Not an easy bid for sure, but hardly impossible.
