AS. 2.0 CS3

I'm currently building a website and I want to use a lightbox feature to play all the video content.

I've spent quite a while going down the Lokesh Dhakar Lightbox JS route but have just found out it only supports images.

So I'm now looking at the JW player but I need to know whether you can trigger this script from inside flash?

I'm after a very simple effect of an FLV file playing whilst dimming down the background so the video floats on top with an X in the corner for closing and returning to the site.

What's the best (free) solution out there? If anyone has a link to a tutorial that walks you through that would ne nice too as I'm a very casual user!

Many thanks in advance!
