Host flv video from the other server

I have my website hosted in a web hosting company.  Since I have a couple big flv video for streaming so it takes up a lot of space.  If I don't take them out, they will start charging me.  I have a test server for the website in my office and it is exposed to the internet with an external ip.  My idea is to whenever my website needs video streaming, it will link up with my test server instead of the web hosting server so it will save some space.  I did a test page called test_video.html and no matter what I did it just comes up blank.  Can someone see what I did wrong.
test-video.html

just put the swf onto the server where your flv's are on.

else you could create subdomains for each file server. i think the swf policies allow accessing subdomains.

swf and flv files are both on my test server.  For the subdomains, I don't understand what you mean.
you can add the iframe and attach the external source html (which will be in test server)

Much easier:
