Hi Everyone,
as some of you might have noticed, KeepVid went downhill. I don't know exactly when, however I found an alternative: http://www.tubegrip.com. It works pretty well...
Here is a sample use of this library:
PLAIN TEXT
Actionscript:
public function startTest():void
{
_client = TubeGripClient.getInstance();
// this takes a url from YouTube they call Watch Urls.. basically, the url [...]
Hi Everyone,
The series on Playing FLV files in AS3 was probably the most popular post on this blog. So I thought I would take it one step further: show SubTitles from an .SRT file over the FLV while it is playing.
First, you need to read this post by Jankees van Woezik. He did a great [...]
Hi Everyone,
I am doing research on which video player I can easily embed inside of an AS3 application. I had these players in mind: DailyMotion, Vimeo, Veoh, Youtube, GoogleVideo, and the DivShare player as a fallback. Right of the bat, the following players are still in AS2:
YouTube
DailyMotion
DivShare
GoogleVideo
While these are in AS3:
Vimeo
Veoh
Flickr
Hi Everyone,
I was toying around today to get a youtube video to play the "legal" way. Quite honestly using the little KeepVid client I made and FLVPlayer, it works fantastic.. but yeah, it isn't legal.
So after a few hours, I found a wrapper that works.. You can see it in action here.
Hi everyone,
I had all but forgotten about this post on the official Youtube docs.. I will spend some time in the near future on the API to clear up some confusion and write more examples; plus finish the implementation of the interactive part of the functionality.
In the meantime, here is the link to [...]
Hi Everyone,
as of sometime in November, Google has released a AS3 module that enables communication directly with Google Analytics, w/o the constraints of passing through Javascript. This combined with the imminent public deployment of Event Tracking, makes for a very exciting combination indeed!
This post is a follow-up to a previous post: Using Google Analytics [...]
Hi Everyone,
I whipped up a little application that finds an artist on Last.fm, gathers his top tracks. Then you can select a track from the list and it will play the first video that matches the search on YouTube. It was just for fun, again proof-of-concept for a much more interactive application I have in [...]
Hi Everyone,
here is a sample for these posts:
Tutorial - Playing FLV video in plain AS3 (part 1, part 2, part 3)
Library to get direct access to YouTube & Vimeo FLV’s in AS3
Simply paste the URL of a "watch" page on Vimeo or YouTube (browse to the video you like, copy the URL from the browser's [...]
Hi Everyone,
this is a ... hrmm ... not very legal thing to do. However I need this for a personal proof of concept so I thought I would make it available to the public. Basically I am using KeepVid's website to grab a URL to the FLV's from Vimeo and YouTube. This means you can [...]
Hi Everyone,
[UPDATE Jan 19th, 2008]
I've just modified RESTProxy.php to handle gzip encoding from the client-side. It was quite simple. I was trying to consume web services on Discogs.com and it requires that you accept gzip encoding.. The source has been modified.
Mise en situtation
for those who have been following the development of the AS3 Youtube Data [...]
