Multimedia CMS Placeholder

Has anyone tried building a CMS placeholder to embed Flash or QuickTime files into a template?

Have started working on my own control to do this. Doesn't seem to be too difficult given it's essentially identical to the image placeholder with an <OBJECT> tag rather than an <IMG>. Just have a request to Interwoven for best practices as I haven't found any documentation and I'd like to follow the same standards you do. For example:
- What is the best way to get the location of the MediaBinNet web app? (Don't think I can always assume it is at /MediaBinNet)
- Do you use RegisterClientScriptBlock to include the MediaBinNet/js/util.js script?
- For the MediaBinImagePlaceholder, there seems to be a "master" control in the authoring container that contains the rest of the controls (i.e., the table, the image buttons, etc.). What kind of control is this? Looks like I need to do the same if I want to use the LaunchMediaBinBrowser javascript function.
- How do you generate the hidden tags (for ImageSrc, AltText, and HLink)?

Many thanks
