so i have an idea where i have a few short video clips that are \<5-10 seconds long. I’d like to use them as a background on a site but would like to access them randomly and then possibly have them randomly change every couple of minutes.

a few questions(some just in general)…

when is it necessary for Flash media server?

where should i start?

Is there a way i can detect their connection and show the videos at a quality their connection can handle?

its just an idea at this point so i guess im just trying to gather my thoughts and see if i’m even able to do what i want…
