Reyco1’s Flash Blog

Reynaldo February 18th, 2008

Hi all:

There has been a new “services” package added and along with it a very simple to use YouTube api. Simultaneously, the PayPalCart class has been renamed to PayPal and has been moved to this new package as well.

The new YouTube api is very simple to use. All you need is a YouTube developer key which you can get at YouTube and 2 proxy php/aspx files which are provided within the YouTube sample folder. Here’s a small example:

Here’s the source:

import com.reyco1.services.YouTube;
import com.reyco1.events.YouTubeEvent;
import flash.events.Event;

var objYouTube:YouTube = new YouTube();
var objparameters:Object = new Object();
var flvPlayer:Video = this.player;
var netConnection:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
netConnection.connect(null);
var netStream:NetStream = new NetStream(netConnection);

objparameters.key = "your api key goes here";
objparameters.proxy = "http://www.yourdomain.com/services/YouTube/proxyRequest.php";
objparameters.video_proxy = "http://www.yourdomain.com/services/YouTube/getVideoId.php";
objYouTube.setup(objparameters);

objYouTube.addEventListener(YouTubeEvent.REQUEST_COMPLETE, requestCompleteHandler);
objYouTube.addEventListener(YouTubeEvent.FLV_REQUEST_COMPLETE, flvRequestCompleteHandler);
videoList.addEventListener(Event.CHANGE, onChangeHandler)
searchBtn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, searchHandler);

function searchHandler($event:MouseEvent):void
{
	objYouTube.getVideos({tag:tagText.text});
}

function requestCompleteHandler($event:YouTubeEvent):void
{
	var data:XMLList = $event.params.data;

	videoList.labelField = "title";
	videoList.removeAll();
	for each (var video in data) {
		videoList.addItem(video);
	}
}

function flvRequestCompleteHandler($event:YouTubeEvent):void
{
	netConnection.connect(null);
	netStream = new NetStream(netConnection);
	netStream.bufferTime = 5;
	netStream.client = {onMetaData:onMetaHandler};
	flvPlayer.attachNetStream(netStream);
	netStream.play($event.params.path);
}

function onMetaHandler(data:Object) {
	var duration:Number = Number(data.duration);
}

function onChangeHandler($event:Event):void
{
	netStream.close();
	var selectedItemData:XML = videoList.selectedItem as XML;
	objYouTube.requestFLV(selectedItemData.id);
}
