Sometime you just have to do whatever needed to work around the issue until the problem is fixed.

Solved it in the end, but not proud of having to add extra event listeners for a bug like this.
I had already tried to listen to stage mouseUp, but it didn’t reach the stage. Turned out I actually had to listen to both click and mouseUp events from the player instance (the loaded player swf) and re-dispatch two events bla bla .

You might wanna try to listen for the stage’s mouseUp event, and trigger it from there.

I’ve solved all other issues, everything works perfectly, but now I’ve run into an annoying bug: scrollbar mouseup event never occurs, so there is no stopDrag, I have to click somewhere outside the player to trigger it. I’ve seen this posted as a bug on google support, but so far I’ve found no solutions.

@admin I've actually managed to solve the problem, had to change the URL a bit. Now I only get the Security error when I mouse over a shape in my SWF, although it should basically have nothing to do with the player. Anyway, thank you very much for your help.

@admin

Maybe I’m doing something wrong. I tried to use exactly the same code there, except that I’m loading “http://www.youtube.com/v/dkc6PsrSbs0″ instead of the “/apiplayer” version. The video plays normally, but I get a Security Sandbox error saying that my swf cannot access http://www.youtube.com/v/dkc6PsrSbs0 (the loader.content generates this). And I cannot interact with the Youtube player through its API.

PS I have a Security.allowDomain(”*”) in my SWF (and allowInsecureDomain(”*”)).

Actually the way to load the chrome player is exactly as if you would load the chromeless one. And the api is exactly the same. Please refer to the youtube page for more details, and if you find any trouble come back here: http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/flash_api_reference.html

Forgive me, but I take it there is no way to load the Youtube player (not the chromeless one) in my SWF? That is, to have the playbar and all the functionality of the Youtube player, and still have access to their API from ActionScript.

Playing multiple videos in the same time no, but actionscript is the same in Flash and Flex.
However examples of playing multiple videos, one-by-one, you can download the sources of the TestHarness-player.
Refer to downloads section.
Download the TestHarness-player that’s related to wrapper version 0.7.2.
