Hey, a great idea but how do you do it? by roflmao456 on 12-01-2006 at 01:32 AM

is it possible to add Youtube videos (flash embedded) on an interface window?

No. There is no control for this.

Launching google player from a script xD

Not with the built in interface window, but if you had a dll you could create one. Not worth the effort for most scripts though

Why not use

code:

var IE = new ActiveXObject("InternetExplorer.Application");

Then remove the address bar/toolbars etc and goto the videos url in that?

thanks but i also need to know like say to get the URL after the

http://youtube.com/v/

like

http://www.youtube.com/v/YzWSSp9s6BY

the "YzWSSp9s6BY" is what im aiming for.. like to exclude everything except the url.

RE: Hey, a great idea but how do you do it? by deAd on 12-01-2006 at 02:34 AM

It may be possible using the Browser control, but I know that's hard if not impossible from a script...otherwise you can't implement it into a Plus! window. you'd have to use external applications (IE, firefox, a video player, etc)

that's pure string manipulation. Doesn't even have anything todo with URLs or whatever.

string is "http://www.youtube.com/p.swf?video_id=YzWSSp9s6BY&eurl=http%3A//msghelp.net/showblahblahblahblahblah", so search for "video_id=" within that string and get everything after that until the next "&" character.

Then stick that found substring after a new string "http://youtube.com/v/".

* RTFM (Read The Fantastique Manual)
* Google

http://www.msgpluslive.net/scripts/view/152-Windo...ipt-Documentation/

things you wanna read:
* String Object
* indexOf()
* substr()
* substring()
* Regular Expressions (<= but don't start with that)

you're not asking too much... But if you don't know this, I really wonder what you've been doing with all those releases you've done before. Plain basic string manipulation like that is the basics of basics...

I really suggest some tutorial on JScript (search google) and do everything step by step instead of trying to start with step 80/100.
