Is this possible?

I am looking into a project and I am not sure if this is possible, here are the details.

A site similar to this
http://www.stephenchungphotography.com

Client wants the list in XML so they can upload their own videos.

The question I have is, would it be possible to have the right side be a dynamic place holder with open variables so when someone clicks the XML list on the left the XML drops in code for the flv?

I used something similar to this but it was hard coded into flash, it was an open ended line in my code that when you click for a new swf file, the current one would animate out then look for the swf file that filled in that blank extension (see code below)

Code used on page
[CODEcontainer.loadMovie(_root.currMovie+".swf");[/CODE]

Code used on button

on(release) {
	if (_root.currMovie == undefined) {
		_root.currMovie = "movieName";
		_parent.container.loadMovie("movieName.swf");
	} else if (currMovie != "movieName") {
		if (_parent.container._currentframe >= _parent.container.midframe) {
			_root.currMovie = "movieName";
			_parent.container.play();
		}
	}
}

As you can see the line

currMovie+".swf"

gets replaced with whatever movie clip you click on.

Does anyone know if something like this is possible as I don't even know what to search for on the net as I am not sure what this is classified as.

I'm not sure I get the question. Are you asking if you can dynamically call a flv to play? If so, sure it's possible.

Lee Brimelow has a tutorial on an XML-powered FLV player at gotoAndLearn(). That might the place to start.
