[FLEX 3] Screen Scraping You Tube Videos

1 comment so far

Thought I would pass along this snippett of code used to screen scrape YouTube videos simply by placing in the url to the video. Here is the full source:

Here is some more documentation:

Note, I had to modify Abdul’s code to get it to work, particularly this function:

private function startLoading ():void
{
	var req:URLRequest = new URLRequest (urlText.text); // this line here to be edited
	loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.INIT, handlerLoaderInit);
	loader.load(req);
	logMessage ("Loading YouTube URL..");
}
