Hi Josh, Thanks for the lead. I'm new to this but by looking at the Flex documentation it seems that you would need to hardcode the uri into QName/namespace? What I mean is that I am trying to get the default namespace at runtime so that ideally my code would still run in the case YouTube changed their namespaces;) But unfortunately it doesn't work:
var def:Namespace = new Namespace(xml.namespace()); use namespace def; ... Could you give the code about QName?
