Hi all,

Is there a possibility to show a small thumbnail of the .flv inside swf?

My requirement is to show some set of thumbnails placed on stage and when these are clicked, the video plays. I am just too lazy to take screen shots and load the images (bit of extra work and codes). I want to do something inside flash. I think I am asking too much. Glad if anyone can come with good ideas!

Thanks,  
FL
