how to add video url in webview as thumbnail in iphone ?

Hi friends,
This is the example for showing Video thumbnail icon in webview just as it appears in normal/youtube video list.

-(void)viewDidLoad
{
    UIWebView *webViewVideo = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, (1024-500)/2, 768, 500)];
    [webViewVideo setBackgroundColor:[UIColor redColor]];

    UIButton* b=(UIButton*)sender;

    NSString* urlString=[array_Youtube objectAtIndex:b.tag];

    NSString *embedHTML = @"\
    <html><head>\
    <style type=\"text/css\">\
    body {\
    background-color: transparent;\
    color: white;\
    }\
    </style>\
    </head><body style=\"margin:0\">\
    <embed id=\"yt\" src=\"%@\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" allowscriptaccess=\"always\" allowfullscreen=\"true\" \
    width=\"%0.0f\" height=\"%0.0f\"></embed>\
    </body></html>";
    NSString *html;
    html = [NSString stringWithFormat:embedHTML, urlString, 768.0, 500.0];

    [webViewVideo loadHTMLString:html baseURL:nil];
    //UIView* v=[[UIView alloc] initWithFrame:CGRectMake(0, 0, 768, 1024)];
    //[v addSubview:webViewVideo];
    //v.backgroundColor=[UIColor blackColor];

    [self.view addSubview:webViewVideo];
    [webViewVideo release];
}

I hope this will be the useful to everyone of you.

Thanks,
