Currently youtube.com has a crossdomain.xml file that prevents any flash or flex app from directly accessing the api because it denies access to any swf outside of the *.youtube.com and *.google.com domains. This is a request for direct access from Flash and Flex applications so no proxy server is needed. |

hi any idea on a workaround for flex/flash guys who have their apps in a hosted environment, how can we get our clients working around the security issue, no issues when running locally but it won't happen on the server. how do i setup the server side redirect to skip around this? thanks |

Also just a suggestion,
As developers we are used to trolling around for information , deeply embedded
in some dusty forum is where our answers normally are. but it would make life so much
easier if we got a little communication from youtube on this, such as an "Announcement".
Something like
- Hey guys we found nasty exploit in x-dom and are cutting it off
- this will affect these areas...
- an alternative is / isnot available, is to be made available ...
you would be surprised how many hours this will save a lot of developers.
cheers .. rant over
Mike

Hi. The easy way to get around this is to use a PHP Proxy that proxies the feed to the Flash app, such as the one at http://xmlrpcflash.mattism.com/xmlrpc_proxy.php?url=http://gdata.youtube.com/feeds/users/universalmusicgroup/uploads You can figure out how it works, but if everyone uses this guy's site, he'll probally get a bit pissed off. Make ur own site and put the proxy there as directed in http://xmlrpcflash.mattism.com/proxy_info.php Amazing what a Google search can find... |

you can actually load the youtube player in flash, BUT its useless unless you only want to load one video. once it's loaded, you have no control over the player controls because of the sandbox. If youtube would just add a listener to the player that listens for parent variable triggers, it would solve the problem for us flash developers who want to load the player. |

Hello. there is a problem in the gdata.youtube.com/crossdomain.xml file. Is contains: <allow-http-request-headers-from="*" /> while it should be something like: <allow-http-request-headers-from domain="*" headers="*" secure="true"/> Thanks |
