solarTube: a Flash / Papervision3D / Facebook Connect / YouTube video player

We just launched a beta version of solarTube, a demo project showcasing a combination of technologies.

It combines:
• Flash AS3 OOP
• Papervision3D
• pulling YouTube RSS feeds, using the AS3 YouTube Data API written by Martin Legris
• displaying a YouTube video in Flash using YouTube’s new Chromeless player
• Facebook Connect’s Comments Box – a way for a site to implement Facebook Connect along with user comments
• Flash’s External Interface calls Javascript to dynamically write a new Comments Box for each video displayed, displaying that video’s comments

Give it a try and feel free to leave a comment in the Facebook Comments Box, either anonymously, or after logging in to your Facebook Account.
