If you want protection, you need to use Flash Media Server. It will stream the FLV's over RTMP to the flash player, meaning they aren't files that show up in the cache, nor can they be accessed directly (except from any flash player). Unfortunately, that's not cheap or particularly trivial to set up, but it's your best bet. It's a paradigm problem that you want the file to simultaneously be available via HTTP and not be available via HTTP. The only solution is have it delivered over some other protected protocol that a server application is running on and can control.
