0.4.2 playing back FLV files was a hack that didn't work very well.
After I changed various internals, it was no longer possible to keep
that hack working. So no, Swfdec itself cannot load FLV files. Swfdec
can however load SWF file and those SWF files can load FLV files fine.

If you want to play back FLV files directly, please use GStreamer.
