Deprecated - Social software and communities

I have a Flash movie that contains a couple videos. My clients client wants to log which members watch which videos and how many times. I am very new to Drupal and my client is handling the Drupal development of the site, but they're new too so I'm hoping for some specific instructions.

How can I get Flash to know what member has logged in and to record what video they have watched and how many times? This should be transparent to the member and log information that only the adminstrator can access.

I want to make user pages for each user (that appear when they log in) like a light myspace this, how can I display variables on the static page ( for instance a User_variable that shows the name of the user logged in and other things.)

Hello all!

the comminity site will act like this, when a user adds a node every node will be catagorized by taxonomy and that node should be added to user profile as interest or groups.

so when user profile accessed the nodes will be listed with pictures
and when you click pictures then you will see the members whom added that node... is it possible ?

I installed video cck and I get Youtube videos and uploaded content to play, but I cannot get brightcove, ifilm, google to play by entering the video ID for those sites. I get a messsage that it "Unable to redirect" or "Video type is unsupported.

Can anyone give me the default instructions to install this module to get these to display correctly?

Thank you =)

Website:
http://www.wcfree.com - This is a Free dating site devoted to people who have came in contact with STD's.

Problem:
I/members want a way to be able to search members based on what they have entered in there "Edit Profile" section. IE: Search for members who are Female, living in Canada and are seeking Friendship.

I have searched through the drupal site and keep seeing "Profileplus". Pretty excited I tried it out. However I is not what I am looking for. This lead me to start developing a different approch.

Goal:
Create a custom search where you can choose which fields you want to show up on the search page. Once you select the options you want. IE: Female, Canada, Friendship. You click submit this takes you to the user listing page. (Trying not to reinvent something that is already working). Now the user listing page will check to see if a search button has been pressed to get you to the page. If it has it will filter the results that meet the options you sent to the page.

Accomplishment So far:
Created a search form: http://www.wcfree.com/profilesearch (The only two fields working are "I am a" and "Country/Area" for testing purposes.) When you click submit your taken to the user listing page and the filters work correctly and display only the users that meet the criteria.

Problems:

I'm building up a social networking sites with some friends and we are wondering what is the maximum number of people which can be handled with Drupal 5.1 using modules like profiles and profiles search? Is their a limit where the software gets slow or is that a questions of the right hardware.

Thanks for your help!
