playing a YouTube video

[w.brants]

Google has released the AS3 API for YouTube.
This means you can embed a chromeless player now inside your AS3 based KoolMoves project. Here's an example

var player:Object;

var yt_loader:Loader = new Loader();
yt_loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, onYTLoaderInit);
yt_loader.load(new URLRequest("http://www.youtube.com/apiplayer?version=3"));

function onYTLoaderInit(e:Event):void {

    // position the loader that contains the youtube player at (20, 20)
    
    yt_loader.x = 20;
    yt_loader.y = 20;
    addChild(yt_loader);
    
    // set the event listeners
    
    player = yt_loader.content;
    player.addEventListener("onReady", onPlayerReady);
    player.addEventListener("onError", onPlayerError);

}

function onPlayerError(e:Event):void {
    trace("player error:", e.data);
}

function onPlayerReady(e:Event):void {

	// setup the player

	player.setSize(320, 240);
	player.setVolume(70);
	
	// load the video
	// replace the first parameter with your own video id
	
	player.loadVideoById("AnWkTRnUuTU", 0, "default");

}
