Hi friends, sorry if this is in the wrong forum.

What I want is to put a linked video inside of a SWF file.

On my web server these three files will exist:

- index.html
- gate.swf
- ratherbigvideo.avi

This is what will be in index.html:

<embed src="gate.swf?usefil=ratherbigvideo.avi"></embed>

When you enter the web page the video (.avi) will start playing through the flash file (.swf).

And if I were to change the querystring sent to the flash file to another video file, that one would play instead, regardless of file extension (and codec used).

Now I ask you: Is this possible to do?
