You can do it with Flash 8 by using BitmapData and taking a capture of the video. You could even make it a step after uploading the video so that a frame with something in it could be selected.
It would include using Flash 8 to load the video into a player, selecting the right frame, than capturing the frame as bitmapData, than outputting it to a script to write it out as an image.

How would I go about making a thumbnail of a flash video after uploading it through a form? Is it even possible? I have just been doing screen captures then editing them down, but I would love to be able to automate the process.
