avi2swf is outdated. Use either 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

Or ffmpeg:

ffmpeg -i video.mpg -b <bitrate> -s <X>y<Y> -pass 1 -passlogfile log_file 
video.flv
ffmpeg -i video.mpg -b <bitrate> -s <X>y<Y> -pass 2 -passlogfile log_file 
video.flv
flvtool2 -UP video.flv
