Does anyone know if it's possible to use the JCPLAYER component with Youtube videos?

If not, are there any other AS3 compatible components that will play Youtube content?

I just did a quick test in Flex 3 using the SWFLoader component. I used a Youtube URL as the Source (slightly modified - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=18KzwK5gMtA) and it worked great!

Is there anything in Flash (AS3) that is comparable to Flex 3's SWFLoader component?

So, I guess it was their swf with a video.

You can use AS3 Loader class and load the swf.

I don't think you can do that. I think they would be fools if they allowed that. Of course you can try to stream one of their videos in other player - if you find a way to figure their stream url this is. But, again, I doubt one could.

What you can do is to embed into your flash app their chromeless player - they provide instructions on how to to that.
