Demo and explanations here. === Arie Molendijk.

Inserting these two lines to your include code for video's: <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="never"> <param name="allowNetworking" value="internal"> prevents flash apps from running scripts or having outbound links. This is a very handy method for preventing users to open the video on the video-providing site (in a new window) when they accidentally click on the video screen. ...

It's not directly obvious from this how we can: - start a movie on page load (question asked by some people on different forums); - specify the dimensions and position of the movies in percentages; - make good use of the ytplayer functions.

function so_start() { loadNewVideo('lKq9_kk3Zbc', 20); } //IE needs some time window.onload=setTimeout('so_start()',2000)
