Hello,

I’d like to know if it is at all possible to embed video from sites like YouTube in a Flash file. And, if so, can i put layers over it or will it always be on top?

What i want to do is make a video-player webpage playing external video content, but use my own design for it. Putting all the video-content on the server isn’t really an option, as they are all really large in filesize.

Thanks, The Doctor
