sry, but i disagree. I don't see a reason for installing DAM only to 
present a flash video on a website. But for sure i see the need that DAM 
support it as well. Why not share code instead of double coding? The 
outputting in FE of the video could go with core function, the reference 
to media could be handled in DAM.
