Hi there,

Not sure if anyone out there has tried embedding an ooyala player into a flash project, but there is very little out on the forums about it, so I figured I’d try posting the issue I’m having here. Thanks a million for any advice.

I downloaded the flash API from the ooyala server yesterday thinking that the ‘getting started’ FLA included in the package would tell me everything I need to know to embed my ooyala channel into my Flash project. I spent 5 hours trying to figure it out last night and couldn’t do it. Here is the Action script I’m using (i changed the embed code to the code of the channel i want to embed):

import flash.display.Sprite;  
import flash.display.StageAlign;  
import flash.display.StageScaleMode;  
import flash.events.Event;

import com.ooyala.api.FlashPlayer;

function init(junk:Event):void  
{  
this.removeEventListener(Event.ENTER\_FRAME, init);  
this.addChild(\_player);  
\_player.load();  
\_player.queryStringParameters =  
“embedCode=cxN24yOvt74NQNk8li6YK09L5nCTLkZS&autoplay=1”;

resize(null);  
}

function resize(junk:Event):void  
{  
\_player.width = stage.stageWidth;  
\_player.height = stage.stageHeight - 30;  
}

var \_player:FlashPlayer = new FlashPlayer();

this.addEventListener(Event.ENTER\_FRAME, init);  
this.addEventListener(Event.RESIZE, resize);  
this.addEventListener(Event.RENDER, resize);  
stage.scaleMode = StageScaleMode.NO\_SCALE;  
stage.align = StageAlign.TOP\_LEFT;

I’m not sure what (if anything) i should be adding to my stage to get this video to load. All I know is I get this error message in the output:

Any help you can give would be much appreciated
