Yes, you do. You need Adobe Flash to edit .flv files, preferably CS4, although not required.
Let me tell you, it's easiest to just learn at least the basics of XML + ActionScript (the scripting language Flash uses) before attempting to edit a template. I've tried editing a Flash template without knowing Flash, and it's not like editing an HTML template in Dreamweaver; you have to know what you are doing to edit it the way you want. Flash looks really nice, but takes a long time to master. I suggest if you really want to use the template, go to lynda.com and get "Adobe Flash CS4 Essential Training" and "ActionScript 3.0 Essential Training". This website is great and teaches subjects very well. I've used tutorials from there to learn HTML, CSS, and Dreamweaver, and I plan to use it to learn Fireworks and Flash.
