Answer 1

The most efficient way is to use an existing service. You just add an IFRAME or a JavaScript to your webpage, and that's it! Otherwise, the tech answer depends on what features you need.

Answer 2

my preferral combo for this setup is : fms + as3 + flex4 compiler

Answer 3

Look at OneTeam Media Server. I haven't tried it myself, but I've seen some impressive demos. It's an Open source flash server written in Erlang, and you can create a Web video chat using it.
