I don't this would work. AFAIK there's no way for the movies running in
the plugin to communicate with movies running in the player without going
through a server. Sure, each one can open files in the other, but that's
about it. This is a case where being able to read data from the URL would
be useful.
Still, if you are going to have some custom logic on the server, you
should be able to do what you want. Get the skinned player to load a
dynamically generated XML or text file into a MIAM or something. MIAMs are
relatively impenetrable using existing tools, so anything you wrap in that
way would require some dedicated non-casual cracking.
