Check this out... doesn't really do conversion on the fly tho - done before the file is viewed online...
Also your not limited just to SMIL - if you wanted you could use XML to pass file locations, references, attributes into flash from a single file... then just update the XML whenever - no need for a DB.
Or you could go a stage further and use a DB inconjuction with ASP (or .NET) or PHP and SQL to query the DB - recompile the XML (serverside) and pass the XML to the flash interface...
Lot of ways to do this... up to you - with considerations aimed at how many concurrent users there are? how much bandwidth is available? server storage space for N number of file? Quality of Service? Regular updating...
A big project no doubt... good luck :)
