How do I convert from AVI or FLV to SWF file?

How do I convert from AVI or FLV to SWF file?

First, I'm a complete Flash novice...this is the first time I've dealt with any

FLV or SWF files.  So, please forgive my ignorance on these topics.  I have 
several small AVI files and have successfully converted them to FLV format via 
Premiere Pro CS3 and Adobe Media Encoder.  But the client is also asking for 
SWF files of the same videos.  I've looked and looked for a way to save SWF 
files.  I tried pulling the video into Flash CS3, and saving as SWF, but since 
I know nothing about using Flash, I don't seem to be doing it correctly...seems

like I'm getting just a single blank frame.  I've looked at the dozens of third

party programs that claim to be able to convert FLV to SWF, but the one I 
downloaded "Free Video to Flash Converter" generated an SWF file that
doesn't 
seem to be playable anywhere.  If there is a click-by-click method for using 
Flash to perform the conversion, I'd be ever so grateful.  Again, please 
forgive my Flash-ignorance.  Thanks for your help.
 :confused;

I do not know anything about converting movies, but I can send you a Flash file
that plays FLV files using Actionscript 2.0.  You may be able to utilize that in
some way as a starter.
