Preventing downloads would be very difficult. Even if the module was able to modify the url string through js after initial load, the FLV still has to be downloaded by the end user to play the video. The FLV downloads would only be prevented if the user was not persistent in their attempts to download the file. Since masking the url would not prevent users from downloading the file, I believe this function should not be built into swftools.
