Day 92... Side project/calling all web designers

So I've not been entirely honest. I haven't been unemployed completely. For money I have picked up some freelance gigs (Red Bull, Surf Monk, Catering) and have kept myself very busy with a side project I have been trying to develop.



The side project which some of you may know about is heavily video based. With our dot com, we're having serious trouble finding a solution to sorting the back end metadata, content database, videos with YouTube API on our flash platform. Anything further explaining how to incorporate YouTube API with Flash would be amazing. Please excuse my lack of knowledge and jargon.
Here is the conversation worded by my web designer.


"What we're looking for is a way to create a content database that can then be displayed in flash and maintained in an external text file. So a way to organize video links, thumbnails, text, and tags that can then be organized by flash into elements that can be displayed in grids, searched, and sorted. We need to know how to organize the content database, and then also how to get it to work in flash."


I mean, I imagine the database would look something like this (depending on the language):

The Video

The Video

The Video
http://www.youtube.com/whatever
The best video to watch
http://www.oursite.com/image.jpg
Video, Home





But then getting that to somehow work in flash, be sorted, be organizable, etc. Yeah, that's the part we need help with.

Any help anybody can offer is much appreciated.
