Make:
- Proxy.swf that loads the YouTube SWF's and interacts with them in
Flash 8
- A class that talks to Proxy.swf via LocalConnection
While you don't have access to SWF's lower than 9, you can make your
own SWF that DOES have a LocalConnection to talk to. You then use
this SWF as your middle-man to YouTube.swf's.
Just because you don't have access to the knowledge of knowing
Japanese doesn't mean you can't use your friend who does know it to
hit on the hottie-mo-hottie from Japan at the bar. You dig?

Hi All,
I'm loading YouTube videos in my application using SWFLoader (I don't
want to grab the FLV directly so I have to use SWF). The problem is
that while the video plays, when I unload the SWF, the sound keeps
playing. Calling AS3 functions like stopAll(); does nothing, so I'm
assuming I need to call stopAllSounds(); directly on the YouTube SWF.
In researching, I know I can use LocalConnection to talk to VM2 SWFs,
but all of the examples I've seen are ones in which I would have
access to the code in the VM2 SWF, which I don't. I'm not sure I
totally understand how LocalConnection works, so I may be missing
something, but I thought I'd ping the list and see if anyone could
point me in the right direction. I'm also not a huge fan of using
External interface, so that's my last resort right now.
Thanks in advance,
