I'm not sure what you are angling at - the whole purpose of FLV is to be streamed and played, as opposed to needing to download the whole file first.

If you mean can you stop other sites from embedding your FLV files and streaming them in their players, then yes you can - just look online about using .htaccess files to restrict access to your .flv files to only your own server and other permitted referrers.
