swftools doesn't have flv support. Instead, use e.g. mencoder:

    mencoder file.avi -lavfopts 
i_certify_that_my_video_stream_does_not_use_b_frames \
                      -ffourcc FLV1 -oac mp3lame -of lavf -ovc lavc \
                      -lavcopts vcodec=flv:acodec=mp3:vbitrate=500:abitrate=56 
-srate 22050  \
                      -o file.swf
