Thanks.

I was using your code for the authentication part.I created an instance of YouTubeService and i call the login function when the user clicks on the login button.

I tried to get the authToken, but it returns null,i did a trace and i got the same(null).

But you have written the code for fetching authToken….but for some reason it does not show up…could you please help with that??

I am sorry to bother you again, but I came across a problem that I just can not solve:

I have a menu with a browse button. The button opens an “browse for file” dialog and creates a new File-instance “myFile” (a private var) which I add an “Event.Select” listener to.
Then I have an upload button which calls myYouTubeServiceInstance.addFile(myFile) and myYouTubeServiceInstance.startUploading();
The upload starts but doesnt progress.

The weird thing is that when I start the upload directly in my listener function “onFileSelected(event:Event)”, it works.

Do you have a clue what the problem could be?

Thanks a million!

I was on vacation in the meantime, thus I’m responding a bit late.
It works now, silly me! Thanks again for your neat code and the work you put into it.

All the best,
Marc

This allows the upload queue to be started and stopped.

If you have already called startUploading, and the there are files being uploaded already, you do not have to call it again, any new files added will be uploaded when the queue gets to them.

You can also look at the public bindable var isUploading:Boolean ( on myYouTubeServiceInstance ) to see the current state of the uploader.

The sample app I made allows the user to start and stop uploads, but if you want you can override this behavior by calling myYouTubeServiceInstance.startUploading();

Hope this helps! Glad to see people using my code!!

Thanks a lot!

Right now I am trying to build my own upload tool but I fail when I try to upload a video.

My code is very simple: I create an YouTubeService instance, pass credentials, login (successfuly) and then call ytService.addFile(myFile). Before that, I add EventListeners for Error, Success and Complete to the YouTubeService instance. But none of my listener functions is called. I only get HTTP code 200 (request succeeded) in the console.

Does the upload begin automatically after addFile()? Or do I have to call another function?

Thanks a lot,
Marc

You could implement it on the server though, as the API was designed for, although this doesn’t seemed to meet your ‘just with flash’ requirement.

This looks excellent – just what I’ve been looking for. I’m currently working a small AIR app allowing kids to make short films with their webcam. Uploading to youtube would be a great addition.

I’m not a particularly good coder so even though you’ve done all the work I know it’ll take me ages to figure it all out. So before I roll up my sleeves and get stuck in I wondered if you could let me know if the actionscript you’ve used contains anything unique to Flex? I’m working just with Flash you see.

Cheers
