@Joseph

Working great!
Thanks a lot.

One more question:
I’m trying to sync YouTube’s movie with events in my game.
When I use the player.getCurrentTime() method I notice that it gets updated only every ~0.1 sec (which is a low rate).

Does anyone knows if it is possible to get updates at a higher rate?

Thanks,
EZ

@EZ Sure, check it out: http://inflagrantedelicto.memoryspiral.com/2009/10/youtube-as3-example-using-flash-professional/

Also modified Flex examples to include Security bits.

@Joseph,

I too got the “Security Sandbox Violation” error…

I’d really appreciate a simple CS4 file, if it is not too much trouble…

Thanks a lot,

“Security Sandbox Violation” is more of a warning message than an error. If I recall, this is expected behavior when running against YouTube stuff even in the AS2 player. Those security settings may remove the message locally, but when on a webserver it shouldn’t matter.

Also keep in mind that this example was whipped together the night Google released the API and I must have spent all of 15 minutes on the example ;)

@Joseph :
Your exemple trigger a sandbox error too ;-)

*** Security Sandbox Violation ***
SecurityDomain ‘http://www.youtube.com/apiplayer?version=3‘ tried to access incompatible context ‘http://inflagrantedelicto.memoryspiral.com/2009/10/google-finally-releases-as3-player-for-youtube/‘

I fixed the problem with including this :
Security.allowInsecureDomain(“*”);
Security.allowDomain(“*”);

@EZ – The API Reference Google provides details all that and more. I’ve integrated this fully into two projects and it works very nicely:

@Pascal – It’s strange that you would get a sandbox error specifying this domain – are you trying to load something from here? You can send me the files, if you like. Or detail the relevant code in comments, here.

Hi,
very useful…
I try to integrate your code in a Flash Application with no success :-(
An error occured :
*** Security Sandbox Violation ***
SecurityDomain ‘http://inflagrantedelicto.memoryspiral.com/2009/10/google-finally-releases-as3-player-for-youtube/‘ tried to access incompatible context…

Any idea ?
