So, give a hand to the developers at YouTube for their hard work! They’ve taken the AS3 YouTube Player out of beta, albeit just chromeless, and all ready for production.
Let’s hope that the chromed version is coming very soon, but now let’s concentrate on getting used to this new player.

So, here I am, playing with YouTube players, trying to get more than one to load in Actionscript 3. But it’s a pain, so I did a few tests and got it running fine in Actionscript 2.
My aim is to port this to Actionscript 3, but the biggest problem is the handling of the AVMs. I’ve got some tests to do to figure out the best way to separate the content, but hopefully I should have it done soon, so do watch this space. But, for all you lot out there, here’s some old school Actionscript 2 code:

Yep, I’ve cracked it. Well, sort of.
You see, I’ve written a few posts about trying to get the YouTube player and interactivity to behave with Papervision3D. The issue was that Papervision3D (and other 3D engines) render the planes/materials/objects as bitmaps and you can’t render the YouTube player as a bitmap.

I’ve had another of my tutorials published on the Flashtuts+ network: Creating a YouTube Search and Play Gadget with PureMVC. It’s a simple step by step guide on how to build a little gadget and teaches you three main things:
- Using PureMVC
- Using the YouTube Player API in AS3
- Working with GData
Check it out and tell me what you think!

Update: keep up to date with my latest code on my Github.
I’ve recently had an article on the YouTube Player API for Actionscript 3 published on the Flashtuts+ network. However, some people are having issues getting to grips with loading another video in-situ, so here’s a slight change to the code:
Once you read the tutorial, you will finish with two important files:
- YouTubePlayerWrapper.swf – The AS2 wrapper
- App.as – The AS3 class files

I’ve been meaning to write a quick tutorial on how to create a simple carousel style gadget. I’ve been putting this off for a while as I haven’t had time, but I thought that I may as well just get on with it and knock one out! Also, lots of people have been searching for code on my site regarding the creation of YouTube gadgets, especially the ‘coverflow’ style one.
At the moment, I’ve got a deal going with the authors of Flashtuts+ whereby I write articles and tutorials for them. It’s good as it gets more coverage than just putting them here and it means that I get lots of exposure too.
I’ve currently had two published, Understanding the PureMVC Open Source Framework and Using the YouTube Player API with ActionScript 3.0 and a third one should be published soon on creating a simple YouTube Search and Play gadget.
When it comes to expanding on the tutorials, errata and updates, I’ll always publish them here. I’ll also be putting up snippets of code and just little tips here and there.
And of course, any code that I do that’s useful but it’s big enough for a tutorial, I’ll stick it up on here!
So bare with me, there’ll be lots of content coming up very very shortly!

I’ve been looking at the stats for my blog and it seems a lot of people are searching for content about the YouTube Contest API. Now I know that there aren’t any external facing docs or tutorials, so I will write one up very soon on how to use it! I promise!

When I showed the YouTube team in the states my 3D Carousel Demo and Perspective Carousel Demo they gave it lots of praise and lots of new ideas. For example, they suggested that tracking would be a necessity.
So I’m still developing on the ideas they gave me, but yesterday, out of the blue, I got an instant message on my G1 from one of the tech producers in NYC saying that they’ve been showing it to clients and the American Army National Guard are looking to take on my carousel and use it for their YouTube Brand Channel.

I wrote a post about a new gadget I created for YouTube Brand Channels. This gadget went down really well with the guys at YouTube and has been pushed to a channel for my friend Laurnce Mills.
However my colleague at work at work mentioned that it may look quite cool if instead of having the thumbnails in a “coverflow” style, have them coming from the back and going towards the user. So I created another gadget and published it here.
