Quick implementation of a youtube video

1. add the following to your controller class:

    function FlashObjectData() {
    	$obj = new FlashObject()
    	return $obj->CreateYouTubeVideo("Test Video", "v_A2flQJa20");
    }
   

2. in your template, add

<% include FlashObject %>

DONE NB: there is no need to add the FlashObjectDecorator in your config file.
