Howdy,
Ive searched through some previous threads & the internet & I haven't been able to find a solution to my problem.

I was wondering if anyone could guide me to a tutorial , or book or something that will explain how to create a video site that has the flash media player embedded in to a html page, with html links to movies that when
clicked are directed to this flash video player.

I have built a player by following this tutorial here (http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=12EBE) , however this teaches you to direct the content path of the player to just one specific video. So i would like to know how you would go about having a list of links created in html that would tell the video player which movie to play.

I think i understand how i would build this in flash, but i was hoping i could just build the player in flash and have everything else just in html (or php) so it would be quicker to update.

I haven't come across any tutorials on how to have multiple links to the one player, leaving me to think that maybe its a much bigger task than i think it is.

Thanks in advance
