News Style Overlays

I was wondering how I would go about being able to push in a video stream on top of another. An example would be when watching the news, and another video opens up near the broadcasters head. Is this possible?

    You could do it a combination of multiple streams, server side actionscript, and client side actionscript. The idea is that you'd have a controller app that sends messages to the server app (to define the overlay source, position, and size), the server app would relay that data to each subscribing client, and the subscribing client would (via actionscript) place a video object on the stage, connect up to the second stream, and play it.

    Or, you could give Wirecast a shot. It does image overlays... might do video overlays too.
