This unfortunately doesn't work
Since the file url is passed as a URL variable
it needs to be URLencoded I'd say
But it did not work

[[swf:flvplayer.swf|This is the title|-addvars {file http://mysite.org/xowiki/file/some_flash_video.flv%3fm%3ddownload}]]

Did not work either It got translated into some HTML entity and I could not download the FLV from the player. Any ideas?

I am using http://www.jeroenwijering.com/?item=JW_FLV_Player

for some podcast clients, the m=download was a problem as well, since they have problems with the query part of urls. therefore, when i wrote the podcast support, i added an alternative writing for downloads without query variables. The orginal syntax was to complicated, i have just now simplified this to

http://mysite.org/xowiki/download/file/some_flash_video.flv

maybe this helps here as well a little.

yes, the flash support was built primarily for .swf files having everything included (e.g. flv). not sure, what is the best way to build such files.
