Embed youTube in Flash - Flash CS5

[illerhag1]

There is no code on the website...Stupid!

[440598]

thanx alot

i was just wondering if i use this would it still count as a view for the user who uploaded the video.

[evanbetter]

Hey, this is just great, thanks a lot! It's guys like you that keep things going! Thanks!

[GrowlingSauce]

YOUR WEBSITE IS JUST DOG STUFF!!!

[evanbetter]

@GrowlingSauce maybe you read before you shout. This guy is just great and helps others. Maybe you rethink your postings before you press "Post".

[dillonculp1]

make sure to double check your as code after copying and pasting from you tube since copying and pasting from you tube adds dashes and spaces where they dont belong.

[dillonculp1]

for any newbies out there this code will make the you tube movie and sound stop when you press a button to navigate to another screen or scene (scene in my case). As you can see I put it on my back button as well:bannerback_btn.addEventLi­stener(MouseEvent.CLICK,fl_Cli­ckToGoToScene_4);function fl_ClickToGoToScene_4(event:Mo­useEvent):void{MovieClip(this.­root).gotoAndPlay(1, "intro");player.destroy();this­.removeChild(loader);}

[motep999]

or you can just paste

SoundMixer.stopAll();

on any page/frame so that when it navigates to that page/frame all sounds stop :-D

[b4september]

where can i get the code?your website is not available.

[b4september]

where can i get the code?your website is not available.

[1106090]

hi your site seems to be down, where can i find the script please?

[Burhoveckis]

it's ActionScript 3.0!!!!!!

Can see at "0.11" in proporties panel !!!

[wesKokigen]

hi why am i getting this error all the time?

Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2035: URL Not Found.

[Phobs87]

Anyone know how to add a fullscreen option?

[yinlin20]

I can embed you tube video in my flash, but there is a problem is that how can I position the video? It doesn't go to the place where my movie clip is.

[AriaKelmanos]

Since people using this code are running AS3, just use the code snippet Click To Stop All Sounds to stop the audio from playing after you navigate away from the video.

button_1.addEventListener(Mous­eEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToStopAllSounds);

function fl_ClickToStopAllSounds(event:­MouseEvent):void

{ SoundMixer.stopAll();

}

Using the snippet will automatically replace the "button_1" with whatever you named your back button.

[EdwinBobo]

does this work with actionscript 2?

[BurgessGaming]

I'm getting numerous errors..

Scene 2, Layer 'Video box', Frame 2, Line 7 1093: Syntax error.

Scene 2, Layer 'Video box', Frame 2, Line 7 1093: Syntax error.

Scene 2, Layer 'Video box', Frame 2, Line 17 1093: Syntax error.

Scene 2, Layer 'Video box', Frame 2, Line 19 1084: Syntax error: expecting rightparen before colon.

[TwistedMusikPuntoCom]

Hi, i cant seem to find the code in your site. any help linking me to it?

[kittynation]

Slight problem so far - the clip is coming up, just not in the bounding box of the movie clip. It is stuck in the lefthand corner of the stage - any help would be gratefully received, thanks :)

[kittynation]

@kittynation is this something to do with me using CS3 rather than 5???

[kittynation]

@kittynation ignore my query! Stupid me was putting the AS in the 1st frame of the scene rather than the movie clip... great tutorial! :)

[nstylephotographix]

i pasted the exact code down to space and lines...I had finally got the right part of the code to turn green and just when I though it was gonna work ERRORS!!!!

[AndroidPhone1]

easy as pie! Thanks !!!!

[kousoulides]

wow.. it worked.. You need to replace all the brackets though " "

[kousoulides]

It doesn't work with CS3? right?

[kittynation]

@kousoulides does with with CS3 - Literally have to just replace any " in the actionscript. So, where there's an " just select and retype " - it works though! Great video!!!

[mjhjww830]

I keep getting the syntax error "statement must appear within on/on ClipEventHandler" on lines 7, 15, 17 etc. I have changed the quote symbols but I dont know how to solve this problem to get the video to work. All I see now when I Test the scene or publish it is just a grey box. How do I solve this problem?

[mjhjww830]

Oops!  I found it!

[mjhjww830]

I cannot find the code for this on the website. Am I looking in the wrong place? Where is the code?

[DJSalim1o1]

[ramtinworld]

Hi,

Thanks for sharing this.

I have got everything working except one thing.

How can I change the location of the video on the stage?

I have a TV type of background that I would like to mask a video inside.

Thanks,

[ramtinworld]

@ramtinworld

Hi again,

I figured this out... I just needed to adjust the location of the clip manually.

That being said, I have another issue and thats the sound of the video... It doesnt sync with the picture.

Have ever had this issue?

Cheers,

[jemsdaily]

You are a genius, I can't believe how easy you made something that seems so complicated. One question, how do I get it to autoplay?

[davelugo]

good tutorial, where can I get the scrip, is hard to read it on the screen

[abercrombizombie]

Hi All! If you're having a problem while making a flash site where the sound of the video keeps playing after navigating away from it, you can add this line of code to any button that navigates away from the clip and it will fix the problem.

mcBackButton.addEventListener(­MouseEvent.CLICK, videoStop);

function videoStop(evt:MouseEvent):void­{ VIDEO INSTANCE.stop();SoundMixer.sto­pAll();

}

[scareddogdotcom]

@abercrombizombie Thanks for this! I am sure many people will find it useful!

[fabriziospucches]

Hi scareddog!

this line of code works in the swf file, but doesn't work when I publish the site.

any suggestionns please?

thank you very much

[fabriziospucches]

hi aberscrombizombie

this line of code works in the swf file, but doesn't work when I publish the site.

any suggestionns please?

thank you very much

[davelugo]

@abercrombizombie is this code AS3 compatible? I get these two errors

Symbol 'menu_mc', Layer 'Actions', Frame 21, Line 18 1071: Syntax error: expected a definition keyword (such as function) after attribute VIDEO, not INSTANCE.

Symbol 'menu_mc', Layer 'Actions', Frame 21, Line 18 1084: Syntax error: expecting rightbrace before semicolon.

[marquizzo]

@abercrombizombie I didn't find this very useful because it stops all the sounds in the flash piece.I made this workaround, hopefully it'll help someone:

// Call when you want video to go away

function stopYTPlayer():void{ this.removeChild(loader);

}

// Call when you want video to appear

function enableYTPlayer():void{ loader.load(new URLRequest("[YT_video_address]­"));

}

After the loader is initiated, it'll add a new instance as a child, and the process will repeat itself.

[dillonculp1]

@marquizzo thanks! i put that function on my back button. It takes away the video but not the sound. Do you know how to take the sound away?

[motep999]

@abercrombizombie do you have an action script 2.0 version of this code?

[dillonculp1]

@abercrombizombie i'm having trouble with this code since flash give me an error having to do with VIDEO INSTANCE. Any help?

[SPFXsynthesisers]

Hi,will this work with action script 2.0?I'm using Flash pro8 and really need to put a youtube vid on my site.Thanks

[FootballClipsLive]

Hey man,

I'm using this tutorial to play Youtube files on my Flash-website. But I have a problem:

When you play the Youtube movie and don't turn it off, then click on something else so the site opens an other frame, the movie is still playing. So you still hear the music of the video..

Do you have a solution?

[abercrombizombie]

@FootballClipsLive

I am also having the same problem, I've been searching everywhere for a solution but haven't found one yet

[Arekkz]

Thank you soooooo much! You have just solved all my problems!!

[SoccerSummary]

When I test my website in a browser, Adobe Flash Players blocks the Youtube movie. I have to change the settings for Adobe Player to make the browser allow the Youtube movie. Will this be the same when the site is online?

[LuisBeast]

can you give me the code???

PLEASE :)

[eufonicos]

Hi Aaron, I am Having a problem... Everything checks out fine, there are no errors on the script. I'm inside the layer of the movie clip (thats where I put the code) and everything looks good.

but when I try the scene, or publish out, the only thing showing is the grey box I created, no video or player!

and it stays like that... LOL...

Do you know whats going on? I'm using flash CS4 AS3.0

Thanks for the tut. its really helpfull. just need to get this working

and I'll be very happy!!!

[unoillnino]

@eufonicos Same problem for me. Got it in there, put the AS in the youtube clip on frame 1, and when I'm inside the youtube clip, I can click test scene and it puts the vid up in the top left corner. So then I back out and go to my Scene 1 and click test and it doesn't show up at all. I'm totally stumped here.

[unoillnino]

@unoillnino Nevermind. I got it working. Not sure what I did different, but I started over from the begining and it worked.

[jessicang714]

Hi Aaron... Loved the video... just wondering if you have a revised version of this code for AS2? I'm upgrading next week, but I need this to work in AS2 at the moment.

Thanks so much.

[scareddogdotcom]

@jessicang714 Hi, no I am sorry I only have the AS3 at this time.

[SoccerSummary]

@scareddogdotcom

I did everything was mentioned in the video and it works in Flash CS4.

But the Youtube video doesn't play in any browser (I tried Chrome, Firefox and IE).. How can I solve that?

[scareddogdotcom]

@SoccerSummary I haven't had any issues in those browsers are you sure you are applying the code correctly?

[SoccerSummary]

@scareddogdotcom

It works now. Thx for you video! :D

[abercrombizombie]

@SoccerSummary

I am getting the same error, how did you fix it?

[MKKP972]

Does this also work with sites like vimeo?

[scareddogdotcom]

@MKKP972 It only works for YouTube, sorry.

[hdfilmari]

hy! i`m romanian and my writing is not good. I whant to put youtub video in my flsh site ,i copy your code, replace where you told as and not whork. I have errors.... can you resolv this problem???

[scareddogdotcom]

@hdfilmari Some people have stated that the " (quotes) in the code need to be replaced when the copy and paste.

[Murgy91]

hi, great video, having few problems with the code from your site... Line 7, 17 and 19, all syntax errors... very puzzeled, do you have any ideas as im not the best with code...

[scareddogdotcom]

@Murgy91 Try doing a copy and replace on all of the quotes.

[constantinet08]

Hi Aaron, have you look about my question, how to do embed youtube video stop (or its sound stop) when we push a button?

[cortes2k]

This is exactly what I need, thank you very much... I'm going to your website right now...

[constantinet08]

Aaron how i can rate the videos? is the like button enough?

[scareddogdotcom]

@constantinet08 Yes the like button is great!  thank you!

[constantinet08]

Thanks you for your helpful video Aaron! It was very nice, an i haven't found something else about this here! Your blog is also helpful, we waitting more... ;)

[scareddogdotcom]

@constantinet08 Thank you for your kind words! It is because of people like you that I make these videos. I am recording some in depth videos today! I look forward to your feedback!

[scareddogdotcom]

I am planning to make a few different tutorials. If you have any suggestions for a tutorial you would like please let me know.

[dmx1151]

@scareddogdotcom

Aaron, your videos are very helpful!

Thank You so much!!

If you get a chance can you do a tutorial on making drop down menu buttons.. (ie (you scroll over a menu button and it drops a list of more buttons down...) if that makes sense sorry im new and its hard to explain lol... Thanks!!

[CHILLENEUM]

@scareddogdotcom after pressing f8 & converting to symbol..i double click the video box upon that i'm given a new layer1..i noticed that you do not get a seperate layer to paste in the code...does this make any difference?

[CHILLENEUM]

@scareddogdotcom I double clicked the box and pasted the code in the layer..I was feeling the same way and have been trying to see if their are other locations associated with the videobox..there isnt..i will try again though as we speak

[CHILLENEUM]

i dont know if this means anything but it appears to be sitting on top of the box..of course if it sized correctly then it would seem to appear inside the videobox

[scareddogdotcom]

@CHILLENEUM It sounds like your not inside the youtubeClip symbol. Did you double click the box then paste the actions inside of the clip?

[CHILLENEUM]

@scareddogdotcom i started over on a blank stage and made the rectangle from there..it was the only layer in my document...still the size line does not work for me...

[CHILLENEUM]

i haven't posted it yet because of this im still working on it on the cs5 stage

[scareddogdotcom]

The website is back online!

[CHILLENEUM]

cant get the player.setSize(w, h) to work. upon testing the video shows but in regular size...i need the size to be 240x200 or close. any suggestions?

[scareddogdotcom]

@CHILLENEUM - When you set the size of the video box that should change the video size. Do you have it posted online for me to look at?

[CHILLENEUM]

@scareddogdotcom Got it! bad user syntax on "trace("player ready:", Object(event).data); i had a period behind trace...yes i typed all the code because your site was down...thru typing it myself though i feel i have a decent understanding of what a lot of the code does....thanks

[scareddogdotcom]

@CHILLENEUM The website is back online. Sorry you had to type in all of the code.

[gonglicoop]

Please post an working link to the code ;-)

[sajjadalifanclub]

hello the URL link for the code is not opening?

[MrCoopcoke]
