Let’s say for instance, our XML file:  
\<videos\>  
\<video linkid=“AK0001” thumb=“[http://www.site.com/pathtofile/filename.flv](http://www.site.com/pathtofile/filename.flv)”\>  
\<link\>[http://www.site.com/pathtofile/filename.flv](http://www.site.com/pathtofile/filename.flv)\</link\>  
\</video\>  
\</videos\>

Is it possible to use the source flv file as the thumbnail? Or, is it better to create a thumbnail of all the content?

With this said, how would I create the event handler to satisfy when each thumbnail is clicked, it stores it’s linkid in the $\_GET variable?

Thank You,
