There is no standard for doing something like this, because it's not possible. You can't hide URLs requested by the client from network monitoring. You can require authentication for specific URLs, however, using either your web server or your application server. If these FLVs are being streamed through Flash Media Server, it provides authentication functionality. If they're static FLV files, you can enable authentication on your web server, or serve the files through an application server like ColdFusion.
