   Hey Mart!
   How are you doing?
   It’s Mathieu C. from New World!

   Nice stuff you did for the GData!

   By the way there a small error in your date parsing it should be:
   var time:Date = new Date(res[1], res[3] – 1, res[4] , res[5], res[6], res[7], res[8]);
   day are from 1-31

   Do you any GData API that can post to youtube (comments, ratings)?

   See ya!

   Salut Mathieu,

   if you download the youtube data api from source (subversion), you’ll notice there is code to post also. Not all the functionality is implemented however. You can even upload videos to youtube using the API, but because the response (304 if I remember well) doesn’t work on Safari for Mac I didn’t post anything about it. It works like a charm on all other browsers that I tested however.

   Look for YoutubeData in there, it should help.
