Hi Everyone,
I have been absent for a while.. taking advantage of life. I also have switched to Android lately, doing some prototyping work with 80/20 Studio in NYC.
Someone from Belgium contacted me today about the YouTube AS3 API, so I decided to look into it once again. While browsing the Youtube API site I found [...]
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 [...]
