I am trying to create a youtube interface in Adobe Flex. Click here to view the initial stage.

This is done using the Youtube data API available here ( Thanks to Martin for his invaluable contribution ).

I have used the video player from fxcomponents ( Thanks again )

Thanks to Abdul Qabiz for his post regarding Constructing FLV url .

The full credit goes to Martin for his API.

There are a lot of bugs in the system currently. I will try to fix those issue and try to include some more features when i get time.

I have tried to create a Password Strength meter in flex . It is based on the existing ProgressBar component in flex . It has a target property which is to be set to the password input textbox. Whenever the text in the password input changes , password strength is calculated using regular expressions and the progress bar is updated.

This is the link to an example with the Password strength meter .

This is an experiment and if anyone is interested to know more , or a good password strength meter , please leave a reply here

Most of the flex develpors a face a common problem to render html tags . Flex do not have the abillity to render complex html tags like <table> tags , but  Adobe Air is having a HTML control for rendering the html. I think the full html rendering ability is not included in flash player inorder to keep it light weight .

I faced a similar problem to render html tables in flex. I have a tried  a third party html component inorder to render html . That component is working well , but the hmtl is a appearing as a layer on top of the swf giving scrolling issues always.

Then i tried to create component based on the Grid Component in flex which is similar to the HTML Table .  The component will accept an html string containing table tags and will use regular expressions to parse the string to create Grid rows and columns. 

The component is working correctly for simple tables , now need to include the ability to render style attributes .

I have not posted the code because i am still working on it . If any one is interested to know about this , or know some other technique to render html in flex , please leave a message here
