Hi Matthew - thanks for sharing! I've had a play around with it and
it's great. Just one question: I'm getting a "Access of undefined
property _wui_to_ytl" error in the loadVideoById function (in the
YouTube class). Any idea why this may be happening? It's been a long
day and I've only just had time to play with this so forgive me if
I've missed something obvious ;)
Cheers,
Jassa

I have another problem: What kind of url does the loaderobject need? I
tried it with "http://gdata.youtube.com/apiplayer?key="+dev_key but
the EventListener throws an error about the LocalConnection
([StatusEvent type="status" bubbles=false cancelable=false
eventPhase=2 code=null level="error"]).
Any idea to fix the problem?
thanks again

Thanks so much for this... great work and much appreciated!
One small comment:
In your example you call loadVideoById() on the AS3 YouTube wrapper
class immediately after creating it in the init() function. This
doesn't always work (as the AS2 counterpart may not have loaded yet).
It's best to start invoking methods only after the onSwfLoadComplete()
is triggered.
Not sure, but this might be the problem some people mentioned on this
thread previously...

You should just be able to compile that as a flash8 swf and itll be
good for loading in flex. I may be able to post the AS3 side of
things later if i get a chance(its heavily tailored to our specific
application right now).
Couple caveats:
1) You need to define your dev key. It can be defined as a url param
or in the code itself.
2) Make sure to call stopVideo() and disconnect() from AS3 once you're
done with the wrapper swf. This will let AS2 disconnect from AS3 to
let AS3 garbage collect the swf. I was having issues with AS3 not
being able to play more than 1 movie if the SWF file needed to be
reloaded. So if you see that problem, call disconnect over the
localconnection.
3) The funcs that return values, (getTotalBytesLoaded, getVolume,
etc..) currently don't report their results to AS3. I'm not too
familiar with how local connection works. So if someone knows how to
get the return data from localconnection function calls, please let me
know :)

Sorry one last thing, your actionscript 3 code needs to have the
following functions defined (in addition to the stuff Matthew said
above):
/** Callback for when the player has finished loading. */
public function onSwfLoadComplete():void {
/* - This is what we're doing once the chromeless player has been
loaded. the m_ytWrapper var is just an instance of the wrapper swf in
flex.
if(m_ytWrapper != null) {
addChild(m_ytWrapper);
loadVideoById(m_videoId);
}
*/
}
/** Callback for the YouTube player status change */
public function onPlayerStateChange(newState:Number):void{
// Do some stuff in response to player state changes
}
/** Callback for when an error has occured with the YouTube player.
*/
public function onPlayerError(errorCode:Number):void{
// Handle errors, according to Geoff the errorCode is always 100
right now.
}

I took a look at the fla and it looks good... great job. I wish i had
more time to give away something as complete as what you did.
There is one other caveat that i should mention and it comes from
using the local connection. It seems that you can only make ONE
connection to a movie at a time using a particular id. In our case we
are using "AS3_to_AS2" like this:
_as3_to_as2.connect("AS3_to_AS2");
This means that when you finally create your application and run it in
the broswer it will only work in the first instance i.e the first
browser window opened. All other windows opened after that, that uses
the same fla file will fail to work
To get around this i created a connection manager that gives the as 2
and as 3 files unique keys for every session opened. This means that
there will have to be a connection open in the as2 file that simply
receives the keys and then is closed.
If i have time in the coming week i will try to put my code in the fla
you created and release it on my website. Unless you want to make that
addition which seems very important.

I'm trying to embed a youtube player into an existing flex
application. I've only learned AS3, so some of this discussion about
AS2 is going over my head. I think that this fla file that Ammitt so
kindly put together could be really helpful for me, but I don't know
how to use it.
Can someone please explain what I do with the fla file or the AS2
code? Can I just put it into an '.as' file? Thank you very kindly.

You need to compile the AS2 code using Flash Creative Suite (CS)...
Load CS, open the file, then Publish it (through the file menu). That
should generate an .swf file... put that file on the web-server where
your Flex application is and follow the instructions on that side.
BTW: If you are trying to embed the player in a Flex component, you
should inherit from UIComponent rather than Sprite

I did a "connection manager" in the way you suggested. Something like
this:
AS2:
var randy:String = Math.random(9999).toString();
var _as2_to_as3:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
var _as3_to_as2:LocalConnection = new LocalConnection();
_as3_to_as2.connect("AS3_to_AS2" + randy);
_as2_to_as3.send("AS2_to_AS3", "clave", randy);
AS3:
public function clave(randy:String):void {
keystring = randy;
_as2_to_as3.close();
_as2_to_as3.connect("AS2_TO_AS3" + keystring);
}
Basically interchanging a "key" to instance local connections. It
works fine (I can load more than one YouTube() instances on the same
swf), but only works loading the different instances in chain: When
the first instance loaded, then can load the second (I did it
assigning a mouse listener to create new instances with each click).
If I do:
_youtube1 = new YouTube("fKQAaPDshbc");
addChild(_youtube1);
_youtube2 = new YouTube("fKQAaPDshbc");
addChild(_youtube2);
I get the "already connected" error, because the first instance didn't
loaded yet when I call the second.
Can you avoid that with your connection manager without doing a chain
loader?

Did anyone else come across this error message at runtime?
ArgumentError: Error #2082: Connect failed because the object is
already connected.
at flash.net::LocalConnection/connect()
at YouTube/init()
at YouTube()
at youtubeDC/init()

For all of us "Flex-only" developers, I have taken the great tips here
and created a working Flex demo and a wrapper SWF that you can use
directly with Flex if you don't want to or can't make your own.
Great stuff mentioned here, just wanted to add a few things:-
1) How to instantiate many YouTube objects?
You need to have unique name for LocalConnection, that can be done by
creating pair of unique names (prefix+ Math.random () * currentTime)
in AS3 wrapper, pass these names to AS2 wrapper (for youtube player)
via query-string while making _loader.load (..). That way you can use
exchange the localconnection names.
This approach does have a disadvantage which is, AS2 wrapper swf would
not be used for next session because browser would AS2_Wrapper_SWF_URL
+ unique_query string, so for each session effective URL is different.
If your AS2 wrapper SWF is light-weight, this is no issue. So keep
your controls in AS3 to keep AS2 Wrapper SWF lightweight
2) How to get values like volume, videoBytesLoaded, videoBytesTotal,
state, etc?
There could be many ways, the way I thought, I would keep AS3 wrapper
up to date all the time, which can be done either by using a Timer in
AS2 Wrapper or event or both
a) Keep state in AS3 variable and update it whenever LC invokes state-
change handler in AS3
b) Volume - it can be done either via set-interval or other methods
which updates this
c) isMuted - Updated it whenever mute (..) method of AS3 wrapper is
called, actually you are maintaining states in AS3 instead of relying
on AS2 wrapper. I believe, you might have to sync it since YouTube
player persists the user preferences in SharedObject, so its not bad
idea to update these fields in AS3 once AS2 wrapper successfully loads
ytplayer.swf
This is what I have thought of and going to implement in the wrapper.
Thanks for sharing the code and ideas, it got me started easily.

Good example Garth. Could be my error but the volume/mute control
works only for the first video played. Been looking into adding a
youtube feed grabber to load files dynamicaly or via user search using
the same API as you did.
