Sorry guys, I have been away from my blog for quite a long time.. Now am back….. Thanks everyone for posting comments..
@nate
Actually the way I suggested does the trick to use youtube videos in your flash movies. removeMovieClip() or unloadclip functions doesnot have any effect over youtube video container. Its just a hint that how easily youtube API functions become available to you.
@Sajil and @Loydster
you should use: System.security.allowDomain(”http://www.youtube.com”);
cz we have to use youtube player’s functions.. so since both swfs are in different domains, i mean your swf at your domain.com and youtube player at youtube.com.. so allowDomain is required to access other swf’s variables and functions.
@gente21: man, i cannot promise.. but i would love to do so, if i get sometime during next few days.
@Dan and @John:
Great!.. its my pleasure..

Hello, if you have the time, could you please post the full srcipt for loading youtube onto as3? All tutorials I’ve found are really complicated and this one seems pretty simple but I can’t make it work. Thanks a lot.

Thanks for the helpful info here. I was pretty stumped when I found out I was unable to remove or unload the Youtube video, although I was able to modify the x and y position of the movieClip with Actionscript.

Using stopVideo() worked so at least I understand how the control the Youtube video better.

I am trying to build a Flash website for my nephew at the above location. If you look at main page, the small photos link to larger photos using a carousel (you can also go to the “ASAVIDS” link at the top. What I’m trying to do is set up the large photos as playable videos from Youtube, rather than as links TO videos on YouTube. Any suggestions? I’ve tried several workarounds, but even when I get a video to load in the Flash, I get a “sandbox violation”.

Doesn’t actually unload the MovieClip, though. This is has the same problem as everything else we’ve tried.

BUTTON ONE or BUTTON TWO will load no problem. But, that’s not the problem we’re trying to solve. UNLOADING either movie once it’s loaded is impossible, even with your new code provided above.

Test it yourself:

// MAIN MOVIE:
var video_mcl:MovieClipLoader = new MovieClipLoader();
this.createEmptyMovieClip(“container”,this.getNextHighestDepth());
var mclListener:Object = new Object();
video_mcl.addListener(mclListener);
mclListener.onLoadInit = function(target_mc:MovieClip) {
target_mc._xscale = 78.5;
target_mc._yscale = 78.5;

// BUTTON ONE:
on (press) {
container.stopVideo();
utube_id = “nhwu0hO0hnY&hl=en&fs=1&ap=%2526fmt%3D18&enablejsapi=1″;
full_address = “http://www.youtube.com/v/” + utube_id;
video_mcl.loadClip(full_address, container);
}

// BUTTON TWO:
on (press) {
container.stopVideo();
container.removeMovieClip()
utube_id = “gw40iv6C35c&hl=en&fs=1&ap=%2526fmt%3D18&enablejsapi=1″;
full_address = “http://www.youtube.com/v/” + utube_id;
video_mcl.loadClip(full_address, container);
}
