playing a YouTube vid in a stack

Hi: Is there any way to embed a youtube video in a stack and play it?

The only way I can think of off-hand, is to have the LiveCode app write an html page with the YouTube vid embedded, then view the html with a browser. I'd rather keep it all in LC if possible.

Thanks!

Hi Greg,

you can keep in LC and use the browser object to display your selfmade html :)

Thanks Klaus - I was just looking at RevBrowser. I guess the best way would be to whip up some custom html that includes the embed code (resizing the youtube as required), then display it in a RevBrowser window. right?

EX-ACTLY :D

If you want to include the Flash video (or whatever you want to show) you could store it in a custom property
of the stack and write it to file specialfolderpath("temporary") when needed.
