Embedding video into web page
Hi! I have a bunch of videos, images, and flash that I want to embed into my page. I'm new to this, but i've figured out how to embed with each file having it's own page. But thats really cluttered if i have like 50 things. Is there a way that I can load each video on click in the bottom section of my page? So if the user clicks link 1, it loads right below all of the links, or if they click link 2, it loads in the same location, at the bottom of the page.
Is there anyway i can do this? (without frames, because that still requires me to create a sperate page for each one, right?)
Thanks for your help in advance! If you need anymore info, let me know!

Use layers and use the 'on click' show or hide layer function. Embed each file on it own layer.

Isn't there any type of java script that will just load a particular file in the page on click?

I use dreamweaver and I have database access, but have no familiarity with such an idea. And I don't expect you to give me a lesson on it, but if you could point me in the direction of some useful learning resources, that would be very much appreciated. I really like how that sounds.
Thank you.

Do the tutorial on dynamic pages.
http://www.macromedia.com/support/dreamweaver/documentation/dwmx_tutorials.html
You will learn how to, let's insert an image from a database... which will reall just be the code for the image in the databse, not the actual image. The principle will be the same. If the dynamic call for the image location is a variable named "ImageLocation" the code for ASP VBscript will look like <%= ImageLocation%> In your database the value for that might be "<img src="/images/image1.jpg"> Your code can be whatever. It can be the entire code to embed a movie. In your database, your code snippets with have unique IDs 1,2,3,4,5 etc.
So when you make links on your page, you just send them to the same page they are on and have the recordset for the database read from the url... it's called request.querystring.
Any way, do the tutorial for dynamic pages... it might make more sense. Then repost here with questions.
