Probably way easier to achieve in Flash than other formats. Dont think theres a way to do it with .mp4's, youd need to wrap the mpeg up in something else, maybe it could be done with .mov or using SMIL.
Anyway, google search the term 'flash dynamic' and plenty of useful info should result. Theres quite a few flash gallery gadgets that use the concept. Was this the guy that was looking to pay for expert advice on these matters? I dont know enough about this stuff to provide that level of advice, and Id want to know what the projct was. Its certainly an area to tread carefully, as directly embedding linked images or other files on other sites can sometimes make people angry. For example I host a forum and lots of bandwidth is used by people using the customised smileys from our forum, on other sites.
