How do I fire an intent to start a flv or swf to Flash Player 10.1?

Question

I have a bunch of flv video files stored on a media server, and I am trying to get them to launch in the flash player. Have been looking around but haven't found much help. I have downloaded the flv file into temporary storage, and try passing it using an intent. This is what my code looks like (from what I have seen on the net):

try{
  URL urlLink = new URL("http://206.188.19.131/p4p101.flv");

  // Serve the file
  InputStream in = urlLink.openStream();
  FileOutputStream fos = new FileOutputStream("/sdcard/tempFlash.flv");
  byte[] buf = new byte[4 * 1024]; // 4K buffer
  int bytesRead;
  while ((bytesRead = in.read(buf)) != -1) {
    fos.write(buf, 0, bytesRead);
  }
  fos.close();
  in.close();
}
catch(Exception e){}

try{
  Intent intent = new Intent();
  intent.setAction(android.content.Intent.ACTION_VIEW);
  File file = new File("/sdcard/tempFlash.flv");
  intent.setDataAndType(Uri.fromFile(file), "flash/*");
  startActivity(intent);
}
catch (ActivityNotFoundException e) {
  Toast toast = Toast.makeText(this, "No apps to launch activity", 1000);
  toast.show();
}
