share video on Facebook from iPhone App

Question

How do I share video link (video(.mov format) is on server and want to share link of it through my iPhone app)?? I am able to to send the link of the video and send an image along with it. But when I click on the link the video is playing in the other page. All I want is that the video is played on the same page and my image should act as thumbnail image.

I was able to get it to work with facebook dialog using the following parameters:

NSMutableDictionary *params = [NSMutableDictionary dictionaryWithObjectsAndKeys:
                                           title, @"name",
                                           caption, @"caption",
                                           description, @"description",
                                           itemLink, @"link",
                                           source, @"source",
                                           thumbnailURL, @"picture",
                                           @"video", @"type",
                                           nil];

The source is the embedded video source+player and the link is where the user will go if they click on your title (eg the video on your webpage).
