What do you think would be the best way to do the thumbnail views for this:

I am hoping to have the thumbnails load quickly and possibly just use the same symbol as the large version. Should I just make separate thumbnails images in PS?

you should use:
www.slideshowpro.net and save a ton of time.

won't the thumbs take just as long as the images to load then?
if so, why not just dispose with the thumbs and have the bigimages appear on button rollover?

"won't the thumbs take just as long as the images to load then?"
I am wondering if there is a way to do this dynamically so that the above won't happen w/o making seperate thumnails.

to do it dynamically use GD (php extension)
when the script that gets the images is called...get it to check if there is a "thumbs" directory...if not, make one and use GD to generate thumbs in that dir

slideshowpro looks really nice and is exactly what I plan to do anyway.
I will have to look more into it.

for $20, a drag and drop flash piece that's FULLY customizable is really hot man.

I just bought it and it is already setup. It is really easy to work with. I'm glad I don't have to worry about writing custom AS again anyway. I'll post it soon.

use php gd image manipulaton library to dinamically create your images.
keep one set of images only.
