  • 0

I need some help with Youtube API and embeded videos.
I want to stop video when clicked on some element (div,link,td etc.). I am trying to get it work just for 1 video now, but the final function of this script should be to stop all videos loaded on current page. I have read thru the YT API documentation but Im really beginner in JS so its still quite hard to understand for me.

<html>
<head>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="swfobject.js"></script>
</head>
<body>

<a href="javascript:ytplayer.stopVideo()">Play</a>
<br/>
<iframe id="ytplayer" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/8Ax-dAR3ABs?rel=0&iv_load_policy=3&showinfo=0&enablejsapi=1&version=3&playerapiid=ytplayer" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" frameborder="0" allowscriptaccess="always"></iframe>

</body>
</html>

thanks in advance for any advices

    You can’t control it if you embed it with an iframe. You have to use object embedding, like this:

    <object id="ytplayer" style="height: 390px; width: 640px">
    <param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/8Ax-dAR3ABs?version=3&enablejsapi=1">
    <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always">
    <embed id="ytplayer" src="http://www.youtube.com/v/8Ax-dAR3ABs?version=3&enablejsapi=1" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowfullscreen="true" allowScriptAccess="always" width="640" height="390">
</object>

    The rest of your code should generally work after that, although it may need to be updated to say:

    <a href="javascript:document.getElementById('ytplayer').stopVideo()">Play</a>

    Also, have you seen the demo site? http://code.google.com/apis/youtube/youtube_player_demo.html
