This is not really related to swfobject directly, so Google will be your
friend for this question.

with a term like "protect flv from direct download" you will find links
like:
http://flowplayer.org/forum/2/16058

which go through the sort of thing you are after. I don't think .htaccess
is the right direction of travel...
