I’m doing some tests and I got somewhere but still not working (it loads the you tube window but not the movie), here is what I did:

I’ve created a movie clip and I threw the following action on it

```auto
createEmptyMovieClip("video1");
loadMovie("http://blip.tv/scripts/flash/showplayer.swf?autostart=false&brandlink=http%3A//.blip.tv/&showplayerpath=http%3A//blip.tv/scripts/flash/showplayer.swf&file=http%3A//blip.tv/bookmarks/rss/165318&user=Blues%20Filmes&tabType1=details&tabType2=details&tabUrl2=http%3A//blip.tv/rss/bookmarks/165318", "video1");
video1._x = -166.9;//a posição X
video1._y = -138.6;//a posição Y 

```

Does anyone hava a sugestion?

Thanks again

its more technical than loadMovie() i suspect

there are security issues, sites don’t really want you to steal their content, it would be better to download the video then load it on your webspace

If YouTube does not like people stealing their conent then I doubt if they want you to host their files on your web server…

Might want to read the terms before stealing and posting youtube videos on your server:

Make a link to the [blip.tv](http://blip.tv) page or if it is your own video just forget about the whole [blip.tv](http://blip.tv) thing and bring your own video (.flv) into your .fla.
