This is my first posting here and if possible would like to get some feedback/advice about something I'd like to accomplish please note that i'm new to jquery so responses with highly technical lingo might be over my head  ☺ :

Now to my question:

I'm trying to create a webpage with the following elements:

- a video area on the page that contains a video player with controls (play/pause, timeline as usual)

- a thumbnail scroll that can control which video is displayed in the video area (kind of like a photo gallery).

If you click on one of the thumbnail images, the video gets updated in the video area but is paused on the first frame until the user hits the play button.

It would also be ideal if the thumbnail scroll would "scroll" through the thumbnails on mouse over (like some flash sites do). The closer you hover to the edge the faster it scrolls. 

Are there any plugins out there that can be customized to do this?

How would both plugins talk to each other? Is there a way to have the thumbnail scroll plugin talk to the video player area to update the videos accordingly? 

Thanks in advance for your help and please excuse any dumb questions.

Regards,

Xavier
