This works with a tiny little snippet:

function containYoutube(youtubevar, depthLevel) {

     this.createEmptyMovieClip("youtubecontainer",depthLevel);

     this.youtubecontainer.loadMovie("http://www.youtube.com/v/"+youtubevar);

}

containYoutube("PXu6AKePXkQ",this.getNextHighestDepth());

You can now just enter the Youtube internal ID and chose your depth.

Much fun

Yippmaster, would it be possible for you to paste in some actual working sample code? I see here you have put it generic instructional variables but that does not help someone like me who needs to see an ACTUAL EXAMPLE of what the correct code should look like.

I pasted your code exactly and got syntax errors on lines 2 and 3, which are these lines:

     this.createEmptyMovieClip("youtubecontainer",depthLevel);

     this.youtubecontainer.loadMovie("http://www.youtube.com/v/"+youtubevar);

WOAH MY GOD. Sorry about that, I guess I pasted it wrong. Thank you!

Is it difficult to change the player's look?

I had a perfectly good player working and playing YT vids, but YT went and changed something and now it doesn't work anymore.

Hi Nate,

the full exmplanation is available at google

http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/player_parameters.html

So the example line

http://www.youtube.com/v/VIDEO_ID&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6&fs=1

shows you exactly what to do

To go back to my example simply change the youtubevar which calls the function to the whole expression:

containYoutube("PXu6AKePXkQ&color1=0x2b405b&color2=0x6b8ab6&fs=1",this .getNextHighestDepth());

And happy experimenting!

About scaling:

I couldn't find a paramter to receive a scaled version directly.

So I think not - only with more complex stuff.

P.S.

Does anyone know what the code would be when clicking a button on the same page that holds the youtube vid, that tells flash to put away the youtube movie as it crashes the site when the flash file tries to continue to another page. Too much going on it would appear. You can still hear the video being played even though you skip to a new page in the falsh movie.

Many Thanks,

Dan

Good Day

Does anyone know How do I embed a youtube video on my flash website, i'm using flash CS5 and ActionScript 2???!!

I've seen several video tutorials on youtube and other websites about this, but they only work with a window of 480px for 385px (4:3),

which doesn't allow the fullscreen option on the lower bar of the video, because the player still had a silver bar not a black one !!!!

This is the one i've been using!!!  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfU5Hj3uKZ4

I would like to use a widescreen window (16:9; 16:10), like the ones youtube curently uses, 360p; 480p;720p.

I would very much appreciate any help you can give me!!!

Thank you
