I have a large series of captivate produced swf files designed for training. I have loaded them up to our LMS to be served from. The files are screenshots for software simulations. I have done numerous optimizations on the files and have them as small as I can get them.

I am assumming I am running with the embed video option ([http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/flash/articles/flv\_download\_05.html](http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/flash/articles/flv_download_05.html)), but need to have it progessive download or stream. I won’t have big money to spend, so I guess stream is out of the question. So, in order to progess download, what do I need to do. How can I convert the swf to flv, which I have heard is better for netwrok travel?
