SWF-Loader cross-domain exceptions, add the following line to your code, BEFORE the player gets initialized.

Security.allowDomain("www.youtube.com");

Ok, after trying a variety of things, I've come to the conclusion that the Youtube API is probably the best way to go, but it doesn't work very well, at least it seems to have all sorts of issues in Flex 4 (see for instance http://groups.google.com/group/youtube-api-gdata/browse_thread/thread/f8e61440e5f1a21c/9ed01ed5fd6eb71b). The interesting thing is that the serious security errors seem to happen only if you move the mouse pointer over the Application stage. So if you can stomach to cover your whole application with something (at least a rect wrapped in a group) you should be ok. Ugly as hell, but that seems to be the only way I can find to make this work.
