FlepStudio has created a new free utility for Flash CS3/CS4 and Actionscript 3.0.
This is a video player that reads the feeds from YouTube.
More precisely reads the feeds by category of YouTube videos and shows a list.
It also displays thumbnail images of video with related information (title, description, duration, number of comments, links to comments page on YouTube, how many raters, how many views, links to author’s page on YouTube, links to the original video on YouTube, etc. etc.).
It reads existing categories from an external XML file that you will keep updated each time YouTube add or remove categories, downloadable at the following URL:
http://gdata.youtube.com/schemas/2007/categories.cat
PS: the file you downloaded has the extension cat, you just have to rename to categories.xml and replace categories.xml which is in the same folder main.swf.
This video is very useful if you want to view and play YouTube videos on your website.
There is a ComboBox with the list of categories.
A MovieClip that plays the video in youtube selected (automatically the first video of the selected category).
A list of videos for the selected category so it can play each video.
Let’s see it.
