Playing video files in Flash MX

[milefile]

I made a photo gallery with horizontal scrolling thumbnail buttons. The .swf shows up when you click. I would like to do the same thing with video files - play the video by clicking a thumbnail all in one Flash browser window. How would I do this? Would I loadURL to the video's address? Would I actually import the video file into the library? If anyone knows how to do this please explain it. Thanks.

I would convert the video into a .swf (There will be a significant loss in quality but m3h) and on the first from insert a stop command then add some play buttons.

So when it loads in the gallery it will stop and the first frame, stop + play buttons will come up that you made (You will need to add the actionscript) and you can play the .swf movie. - Remember you will need a stop on the last frame of the movie.
