Dynamic population of SWFs with information from databases and other sources is best done by FlashRemoting, something native to ColdFusion CFCs. Use CFDirectory to compile the list of available FLVs, FlashRemoting to send that list to your SWF and ActionScript within your SWF to populate a listbox / combobox with the selections.

Since you need it to be dynamic, use CF to write a new xml file everytime you update the video to be played. I'm by know means an Acript script expert, but I read this is one of the best ways to manage dynamic video content. This link might help. You'd want to ask on an Actionscript forum how to alter the actionscript from starting each video by the user clicking on a selection to just playing through the videos in your list. http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/video_player.html D >I'm looking for a way to create a list of flv files stored on a flash >media server and play them back to back without having to select the >next video.
