Hi Jeff,
You'll probably have to stick the FLV somewhere protected on the server
(outwith the webapp context, or under WEB-INF, for example) and write a
servlet to serve them, remembering to set the mime type.
Of course, people could still use the servlet to retrieve the FLV, but its

Okay, this is just a random idea and I can't offer code snippets because
I haven't successfully pulled it off. I have however thought about this
very issue the last couple weeks for one of my own projects. My idea was
to put the FLVs in a directory with a .htaccess file that passes all
requests
Wouldn't it be cool if the MediaDisplay component supported some kind
of authentication mechanism, at least for FLVs downloaded via HTTP?
mx:MediaDisplay contentPath=http://my.com/protected.flv;
username={httpUsername} password={httpPassword} /
Or:
mx:MediaDisplay
