I have a online courses with a lot of videos. These videos are in Vimeo for the app of this courses but I use flv loaded to the server in my flash version and the administrator wants to get off these flv.
Cause I don't know a bit of AS3, i can't use the vimeo api. So:
How can I display a webpage (where an html player will be running the video) in my swf? Like some kind of web object. The result, must be the video page inserted in the swf area
Please, be specific in your answer, my knowledge of coding is poor.
Thanks a lot! :)
The best way to approach this would be to setup an ExternalInterface in the Flash course that will communicate with the page. From there, Flash can call a method that is responsible for rendering an iframe embed of the Vimeo player. You'll probably have to pass both the video_id and the location where the video should be displayed (x/y in the event that it changes).
Once you have the javascript setup to render the iframe embed where you need it, you can interact with the player via the Javascript API (https://developer.vimeo.com/player/js-api). The player would essentially be rendered above the Flash (kind of like a lightbox), but will allow the control that you need.
You can also setup whatever playback controls that you need to pass from Flash to Javascript, and eventually to the iframe via the API.
Please let me know if you need any more clarification on how this can be setup.

Hope someone will be able to help me,
I am currently working on a flash project and i have to play youtube and dailymotion video. (this application is full actionscript3 not in a flash app in a browser).
I am trying to make the actionscript youtube api and it does work i can load and play videos.
But when i am trying to use the dailymotion api in actionscript3 : http://www.dailymotion.com/fr/doc/api/player-deprecated/flash_api
I can display the api, load videos, but when it comes to play i get those message:
One is about Sandbox violation,
another message is : interruption of your connection something called l2 visiblemeasures.
Can someone help me?
Thanks
You probably use the Flash player content debugger.
When using the standard Flash Player (not the content debugger one) those messages should not be displayed and the video should play normally and smoothly.
Sandbox violation might occur in some cases when no crossdomain policy is setup.
Those messages are not critical as long as they don't crash the player and the streaming when using standard Flash Player.
Best.
Is it possible to load only the audio from YouTube into my AS3 flash custom player through youtube AS3 api?
I want to load it into a sound object and then assign it to a sound channel.
I would like to know if there is an "official" way to do this, I'd like to avoid improvising (like loading the whole stream and then use only the audio).
Thank you.
I suggest you read the YouTube terms of service carefully:
https://developers.google.com/youtube/terms
In particular, you may not "promote separately the audio or video components of any YouTube audiovisual content made available through the YouTube API".
Doing so in any way (such as moving the video off stage) is likely to have your site blocked for playbacks by YouTube for breach of terms of service.
NB: YouTube manages to provide the service it does through advertising on top of video content. Separating the content like this prevents YouTube from making any money from the service it is providing.
If you use it for private usage, its okay I guess.
After some research work with different APIs and libraries and researching source code, I just tried it by myself and wolla.
Just saying, audio only links are in the page source of each video.
You just have to know what you are looking for ;)
Open a youtube video, view page source and search for "mime%3Daudio". There should be 5 matches, full url for example:
"https%3A%2F%2Fr2---sn-35cxanpbo5a-8pxl.googlevideo.com%2Fvideoplayback%3Fsource%3Dyoutube%26signature%3D30EC556F55533FBFD9003767730D10556681F33A.B12E021CA54CCB9E225F58A4430E9BB528081FB5%26requiressl%3Dyes%26expire%3D1527306011%26clen%3D3064602%26initcwndbps%3D1152500%26ipbits%3D0%26mime%3Daudio%252Fmp4%26dur%3D192.911%26fvip%3D5%26lmt%3D1524946334873350%26key%3Dyt6%26sparams%3Dclen%252Cdur%252Cei%252Cgir%252Cid%252Cinitcwndbps%252Cip%252Cipbits%252Citag%252Ckeepalive%252Clmt%252Cmime%252Cmm%252Cmn%252Cms%252Cmv%252Cpl%252Crequiressl%252Csource%252Cexpire%26itag%3D140%26gir%3Dyes%26ip%3D81.217.53.239%26id%3Do-ALNxMeQYw4LLc1FAjxt4h795wKTdqJnzc_SBgzEJVBxR%26c%3DWEB%26keepalive%3Dyes%26mm%3D31%252C29%26mn%3Dsn-35cxanpbo5a-8pxl%252Csn-2gb7sn7r%26ei%3Du4IIW7DfC46rgAfrrpnICw%26ms%3Dau%252Crdu%26mt%3D1527284230%26pl%3D16%26mv%3Dm"
Just decode URL and you got what you want.
I already know that there are flash and html5 players that can effectively stream a shoutcast source. I also know that I can simply add a link to the .pls and have it open. I know that I can't force a specific player to be used on a users system. I've looked through various questions on this site and haven't actually found a solution.
I know that if I use a simple href command and point it to an m3u file I can pop open a window and then it will load whatever audio player a user has set as a default player. What I would like to do is provide a way for a person to click on a link for a specific type of player and then have that open an embedded player of that type. If the user does not have that plug-in or player installed it will offer the option to dowload and install. I've figured out how to embed a windows media player and a quicktime player but I haven't yet figured out how to embed real audio or a "default" (winamp vlc media) player. I'm hoping someone has an idea on how to accomplish this. Thanks.
All you need to do is embed the right content, and the system will use whatever plugin has registered itself to handle that content type.

From what I understand the chromeless player..
http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/chromeless_player_reference.html
can be loaded as an external swf and can play youtube videos
using commands like:cueVideoById, or cueVideoByUrl
Both commands apply to youtube videos, but is there a way to have the player load a video let's say hosted on your server ?
No, that's not possible using the YouTube chromeless player. I'm sure that there are other Flash options out there if you search around a bit, though. You could also use the HTML5 tag, assuming your users are running a compatible browser.
I basically want to embed a swf object and then feed different videos to it. Right now, I made a xml driven video player, however, I would have to create a new swf and xml list for each video I want to embed on my site. This is a real drag and pain. What is the procedure to make a universal player like youtube.
FYI: I can't use flow player because it uses java script and I would like the pages I make on my site to be able to share on facebook.
Take a look at an article for the Adobe Open Source Media Framework. Home site here.
How is the player xml based if you have to create a new swf for each video?
You have to simply send the absolute path of the flv at embed time through flashvars.
