Thanks Mike, but it was using the appended time-string method to
ensure that my connection id was unique and I still couldn't play more
than one, and neither could Pamela's demo where she apparently uses
that technique as well. Since I had already spent way more time than
allotted to get this done, I am hosting the video files myself for now
and using the following simple method to play them in the info window:
// Prepare connection to video asset
var connection:NetConnection = new NetConnection ();
connection.connect (null);
var stream:NetStream = new NetStream (connection);
stream.client = this;
// Create viewer
var video:Video = new Video ();
video.attachNetStream(stream);
// play video
stream.play(videoUrlString);
// Note that you must define function "onMetaData
(info:Object):void" in the class that creates the NetStream
Hopefully YouTube will release an AS3 API soon and this won't be such
a problem.
