Embedding YouTube file in flash project

Hi guys,
Could someone please advise me how to embed a YouTube video file in particular place of my Flash project, should I do this in action panel or in final html file.
Here is exactly what I'd like to do: On this website www.aye-aye-media.com under 'Film' panel I have some movie samples, and after clicking buttons on right side I'd like to play embedded YouTube clips instead of flv.samples uploaded to my ftp. as it takes too long for customers to download them
Thank you in advance
Dom

ok, so, is it too difficult or too easy to do what I want?

Thanks Christopher,
I was thinking about it, meanwhile I'm still trying to do it the way I suggested. I'm able to embed the clip but just not in the right place, just don't know where to paste the code, I thought perhaps there is a command in ActionScript to sort this out

Help Exporting Embedded Video Files From Flash

I am new to Flash and this may sound, well dumb but here it goes. I have taken some video files from Final Cut Pro converted them to FLV's imported them and embedded them into flash to create some banners for the web. I need to know what settings I should use to get these out of Flash for the web.
Also I need to send them to someone to look at before publishing. What would be the best format to do that in and how to do it.
Also has anyone has any experience creating banners in or online ads in a Video format like FCP and embedding them into a flash file to export them in flash for we publishing. Sorry again for the dumb question, just new to Flash.

Is there a reason why you embedded the video in Flash rather than using the FLV player?
Starting with the video, since you have the source you can create any type of format you need from that which can be used for preview or the final version depending on where it's going to end up and what is required or preferred. Flash comes into play if the requirement is to have a SWF/FLV other than some other video format, or if you have other Flash content going on at the same time besides the video.
But using Flash for this, the most stratghtforward way is to use the FLV player included with Flash (or another 3rd party player) and point it to your FLV.

Embedding youtube video in flash with as2 - problem with black bars

I have successfully embedded the youtube video in my flash code with:
//create area to put youtube video on screen
this.createEmptyMovieClip("reason1_video", 10000);
reason1_video._xscale = 60;
reason1_video._yscale = 60;
this.reason1_video.loadMovie("http://www.youtube.com/v/PUt7Kw9Q_Qc?hd=1");
However, the video plays with black bars on top and bottom even though it plays without those directly from youtube:
http://www.youtube.com/parallelic#p/c/258EA3637F3467BD/7/PUt7Kw9Q_Qc
Even if I take off the scaling, it still has the black bars. How do I get rid of them?

So basicly your putting a video in to your flash project

Exporting to Flash without embedding music files

I had to create a music player for a website, and really didn't want to make a flash player from scratch again. So I had an epiphany and opened Keynote.
I created a slideshow: the first page was a "Click on song to play" and every page after the first was a song that auto played in the background with a next, previous and home hyperlink on each. Ten minutes later I could export to Flash, open it in Safari, and had a perfectly functional flash music player; 10 points for Apple.
The only problem is that the export embeds the songs into the SWF file, making the file around 16mb. In my current setup for the website, it's not a terrible problem, but I was wondering how I would export the file to Flash (from Keynote still) so that the music loaded externally, and only when the song needed to be loaded.
I could buy a swf>fla converter and change the actionscript, but I figured some genius in the Discussions might have a trick up their sleeve.
Well, do ya?
PS: For those interested, here is the file: http://clay.bellmor.com/appledis/musicplayer
Remember, it's 16+ megs, so whip out your Activity window. I also built in a timed auto-tranisition to play the next song. Again, 10 points for Apple.

OK, I'm about at my wits end with this issue and it's only getting worse! Yesterday I did unistalls and reinstalls of both Flash and Captivate and made sure that I the proper Captivate A.S. folders copied to the Flash Classes folder...still no dice.
I then went to IT and asked for a loaner laptop to install both on to see if it might be my PC that's the problem...installed both on the laptop and export the Captivate File to Flash and published it...the audio worked! I was pumped. So went back to my PC and tried again and it didn't work. I then brought the new .FLA over from the laptop and it plays with audio fine on my PC. However the exact same Captivate project exported to Flash on my PC doesn't play the audio. I have a TON of captivate .SWFs that I need to add actions to, so if anyone can offer (even possible) solutions, I'd be grateful! Thanks!

Extracting resourse like .ai & png files from a flash project

Hi! I have been assined the task of extracting the images from old flash projects and am having a devil of a time doing so.
There are lots of programs that you can extract info out of the swf files, but these don't give you the original .ai Ilustrator files that may have been used to create the presentation with, or png files with transparent backgrounds.
Is there a plug-in in Flash that allows you to capture these items in the document? when I drag the item from the library (lets say a .ai file) to the stage and right click and copy it, it only gives me part of the item when I paste it back into illustrator... and when I drag the PNG resource to photoshop I get it with a background I do not want.
any help on this would be great!!!!
I have both cs3 and cs4 so a solution in either one would be great!

Well that is kinda what I've been doing, only its not quite that simple as doing it that way makes an image of what is on the entire stage. What I have to do is create a new project copy over all my library items to the new project, and pull over each one individually and do it that way.... if you have a lot of items in your library (which I do a lot of times since these contain a lot of animation sequenced into individual frames) this process can be quite tedious. Yes you can save out to .ai illustrator files this way as well.
I was hoping for something a little more... automatic or at least where I don't have to drop each item individually on a stage, reposition, ect...
But yes, the previous post is one way of doing it with some fooling around with.

Flash Player w/embedded YouTube videos in PPT 2010

Embedded YouTube video won't play in PPT2010; error message says newer version Flash player needed (newest alreadt installed).

Yes, I have the latest version installed. I finally discovered yesterday that evidently YouTube has made a change to their coding in the past week, and there is now a double entry of code that I must delete before the embedding works correctly ... at least until there is a fix. Thanks.

Flash Project files (FLP)

Hello. I can't seem to figure something out and was wondering
if someone could explain this to me. I use a Flash Project (flp)
for version control of my flash projects. One curious/strange thing
seems to happen when I check in my files using the flp.
When I check in a file the "date modified" on my local copy
changes to be 5 hrs ahead of when it was actually modified. Only
happens when I check a file in using the flp. I have checked all
the times for both my local computer and the server where I place
the checked in file and they are in sync. Don't know what else
could be causing this.
Has this happened to anyone else and is there a solution?
Thanks in advance!

StanWelks,
> Each time I make a new project, Flash is creating a .flp
file
> What are these files for?
I think it stands for "Flash Project," but not sure. The FLP
is just a
small file that stores the locations of the various other
files that belong
to the project. Think of it as an M3U playlist.

Someone help! Flex Developer trying to repurpose a Flash project.. AS file placement?

Hi everyone,
I'm repurposing a Flash Project and received the source files not all together.
I've found the correct file paths to place the class(.as) files for all but one..
I get a compiler error...
1061: Call to a possibly undefined method setOpenUpwards through a reference with static type fl.controls:ComboBox.
Where should I place the ComboBox.as file?
My import code is in place..
import fl.controls.ComboBox;
I don't see any fl.controls filepath in my project folder...
Any help is greatly appreciated!!
Thanks,
DK

Okay, looks like I just needed to place the ComboBox.as inside the folders in a directory path like fl>controls>ComboBox.as.
For some reason, I thought the fl package was a built in package for Flash and therefore you couldn't access it because that part of the code is not editable.

Embedded Youtube videos not working on Chrome 23 / Flash player 11.5.31.2

For the past couple of weeks, I've not been able to play any Youtube videos that appear as embedded videos on other websites. The small player appears with the still frame from the video and all the controls, but on pressing play, the video goes blank and won't play (the slider stays stuck at 0:00). Nor does the full screen button work - the player just stays where it is within the third party website. This problem has occurred across more than one website, but all sites still work in Internet Explorer.
The main Youtube site is still working.
I have tried all relevant steps here, to no avail (except increasing memory for a particular website, since not just one website is affected):

Details:
Windows 7 Home Premium 32-bit
Google Chrome 23.0.1271.64 m

Any suggestions please?

Thank your for your reply, Chris.
I installed the newest version of Chrome, and the videos I have
embedded on my blog are now working.

Embedded swf files don't show / slow to load when viewing project online

I'm playing with the trial version of Captivate 3 and doing a
mock up of an e learning module. I have a project which is about 30
slides long and 4 or 5 of those slides have full motion recording
objects on the slide (that were created when I drag and dropped
something during the recording process). When I publish the
project, it creates a separate swf file for each of the motion
recordings...
When I upload my published captivate project to my web server
(the html doc, main swf, and supporting swfs), everything plays
fine until I get to one of the slides that had one of the full
motion recordings on it. When I get to those slides, the captions
keep appearing, the audio keeps playing, etc. but the slide is
blank - the full motion recording doesn't load.
It appears that it just hasn't loaded yet, because if I try
running the whole thing again, then it works fine!
It's like the supporting SWF file hadn't finished loading but
the main swf just kept on going...
This seems like a really big bug to me? I'm pulling my hair
out :(
Is there a way to compile the whole project into 1 SWF file?
Is there a way to embed the SWF files into the main SWF file so it
is taken into account when preloading?
Thanks to anyone who has some advice!! help!
Gaspar

Hi Gaspar,
Are you using a preloader for the project? If so, the default
one in Captivate waits for 60% of the project to load before
playing. Perhaps try to add the preloader if you aren't using one,
or remove it if you are to see if that makes a difference. In
Captivate 3, you can change this option in Preferences -->
Project --> Start and End --> Loading Screen.
Good luck,
David
Edit: I just tried this too and got the same results when
publishing with all versions of Flash - I was a little surprised to
see it even with Flash 7 exports, because Captivate has let me
embed .swf animations into a single .swf project file using Flash
7. I'm guessing that whatever Flash "engine" Captivate uses to
create its own FMV .swfs must be Flash 8 or 9. That would be
something that would be nice to adjust - especially because of the
lack of the ability to merge .swf files into one file. I guess I'll
send a feature request again...

Cs5.5 embedded youtube is blank in Safari, in firefox "file not found"

Dear all,
I embedded youtube and vimeo videos in a website in dreamweaver 5.5, in Safari the space is blank, firexfox gives me "file not found - the files under /embed/(embed code) could not be found.
An older file with embedded youtube works perfectly, but if I put in a new embedded video in this file, same phenomenon - blank in Safari. Since I have not embedded videos for a couple of months I cannot relate this behaviour to any update I made.
I have the last version of dreamweaver cs 5.5. Yesterday I updated Safari, MacOSX 10.7.5., Java, emptied cache/cookies, reset Safari, and put Safari to 32bit mode. Nothing changed.
Thanks for looking.
Tobias

Did you upload the video files to your server?
The message "file not found" can mean a number of things...
     1. The video files were not uploaded
     2. The video files were uploaded, but to the wrong location (placed in wrong folder)
     3. The links to the videos are pointing to the wrong locations (maybe your hard drive instead of the server)
     4. Your html page is cached by the browser with outdated links (refresh your browser cache)
Without seeing the page in question, it's all guesswork. Could you post a link to your page so we can take a look?

How to add youtube video to flash

I am still new to AS. Looking for a detailed tutorial/explanation on adding/embeding a youtube video to flash.
If anybody has a descent example that would work too. Also i would like the youtube video to play in the flash file.

http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/flash_api_reference.html
Quote from google api ref:
Getting Started
You can use a chromeless player or an embedded player in your application. Both players support the same functions. However, the embedded player displays standard controls, including a play/pause button, a progress bar, a volume control, and more. The chromeless player, on the other hand, does not display any controls, so you will need to develop your own custom player controls in Flash.
Loading the chromeless player
If your application is using a chromeless player, use the following URL to load the player in your application:
http://www.youtube.com/apiplayer?version=3
Loading the embedded player
If your application is using an embedded player, use the following URL to load the player in your application. In the URL, replace the string VIDEO_ID with the 11-character YouTube video ID of the video that the player will show.
http://www.youtube.com/v/VIDEO_ID?version=3
The
Player API demo lets you compare the two player
http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/youtube_player_demo.html
http://www.youtube.com/v/VIDEO_ID?version=3
Heres some really quick code. You'll have to play with it but this will get you well under way:
var myVideo:Loader = new Loader();
Security.allowDomain("www.youtube.com");
myVideo.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, showVideo);
//myVideo.load(new URLRequest("http://www.youtube.com/apiplayer?version=3"));
myVideo.load(new URLRequest("http://www.youtube.com/v/6U-sTcbZuq0&feature=rec-LGOUT-farside_rn-4r-1-HM" + "?version=3"));
function showVideo(e:Event):void
     myVideo.x = stage.stageWidth * .5;
     myVideo.y = stage.stageWidth * .5;
     stage.addChild(myVideo);
If you have any questions please let me know. Otherwise, please mark the question as answered Thanks,
Jesse
