So first off, I am working with this brand new technology (10/14/09) and it “works” quite well. A few issues I have run into so far is my calls to pull a video by id were getting a security sandbox error. I did some more research and found information regarding external sites that you use in flash and approving them for loading external content.

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/system/Security.html#allowDomain%28%29

This answers a LOT of questions about why some of my content was not loading properly from external sources.

Once I figure out more about how the player is stored in my swf file and what I can control about it I will post again. At that point my Flash class’s Mid Term project will be looking pretty snazzy.
