Hi,

Wow this is fantastic…exactly what I need, but I am having some issues. I can the php file to echo the url..

Flash is giving me the error:

1005: Invalid xml: URL: “http://www.youtube.com/get_video.php?video_id=s-bJSPRRCf8&t=OEgsToPDskJHVGuTHdCpGalSEkuTmk3P&.flv&FLVPlaybackVersion=1.0.2″ No root node found; if url is for an flv it must have .flv extension and take no parameters

Ah, any idea you be SO GRATEFULLY!

I read a lot of articles to play a youtube video in flash/ flex and now I’m lost!! I don’t understand! Is there an easy way to play a youtube video in Flash/Flex without have a sandbox error now? I follow an example on abdulblog but now, without the “free crossdomain.xml” , we can’t play a youtube video without have an sandbox error. So how we can? You talk about a server side proxy but I don’t understand how it can be use to play the video. To retrieve XML, I understand, but to play the video into the flash I don’t understand. Please help if you have a way to resolve!

Hi,

does your example suitable for actionscript 2.0 ?
If it is, how did you solved the cross domain problem ?
Ho do I make AbdulQabiz youtube php engine work in actionscript 2.0 ?

If you get into some errors, like 1005;

try to handle your php/asp flv-rendering-source in Flash like:
your-path-way/to/heaven/ STREAM-HANDLER . php / anything-here.flv
.php COULD be .asp here, :-p

Flash adds ?xxxx to the file, so faking an extension in any other way won’t work.

I’m trying to load 3 different youtube videos in a movie depending on 3 buttons.

My code is:

pest_1.onRelease = function() {
_root.createEmptyMovieClip(“mc”,0); unloadMovie(mc);
loadMovie(“http://www.youtube.com/v/HO-BcoXYGuA&autoplay=1&noscale=true”,mc);
mc._x=15;
mc._y=40;
mc._xscale=90;
mc._yscale=80;
}

pest_2.onRelease = function() {
unloadMovie(mc);
loadMovie(“http://youtube.com/v/zUjMMKuzBPQ&autoplay=1&noscale=true”,mc);
}

pest_3.onRelease = function() {
unloadMovie(mc);
loadMovie(“http://youtube.com/v/ZjHMSE7-oME&autoplay=1&noscale=true”,mc);
}
stop();

I really don’t know why, i can see the first two videos. When i try to load the third, the movieclip show grey and any video can be played anymore.

The tutorial you made isn’t aviable anymore. Can you give me some advice?

Heres another example
http://jaxxrr.110mb.com/other/fs3.html
and heres the sourcecode
http://jaxxrr.110mb.com/other/flash-fullscreen-youtube.zip

the fullscreen part is nothing special really.. one line of script on a button

on (release) {
Stage.displayState = “fullScreen”;
}
but you also need to edit the html file and set the allowFullScreen parameter from false to true, it is there just set it to true (don’t write it twice like I did )

so either

…

or
AC_FL_RunContent( … “allowFullScreen”, “true”, … )

depending on how you launch the flash..

Also make sure your html file does’nt get overwritten when publishing again.. go to publish settings and uncheck html

this info is also in flash CS3 help

cheers
