Youtube player view control

Hi!

I would like to make an app using the youtube.

I could make the youtube player using the webView.

But I have a problem to show the messages on the youtube player view when the youtube movie is full on the screen.

I would like to make appear some buttons and show messages on the youtube player.

I want to know about two things.

1. What's the view controller of the youtube player?
2. Is the youtube movie played by the MPMoviePlayerController?

Here is my code:

#import "YouTubePlayViewController.h"

@implementation YouTubePlayViewController

- (void)viewDidLoad {
[super viewDidLoad];

[self playYouTube:@"http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QOfpo5daPCA" frame:CGRectMake(10, 10, 300, 200)];

NSLog(@"%@", self.view);
}

- (void)playYouTube

NSString *)urlString frame

CGRect)frame{

NSString *embedHTML = @"\
<html><head>\
<style type=\"text/css\">\
body {\
background-color: transparent;\
color: white;\
}\
</style>\
</head><body style=\"margin:0\">\
<embed id=\"yt\" src=\"%@\" type=\"application/x-shockwave-flash\" \
width=\"%0.0f\" height=\"%0.0f\"></embed>\
</body></html>";

NSString *htmlString = [NSString stringWithFormat:embedHTML, urlString, frame.size.width, frame.size.height];
UIWebView *videoView = [[UIWebView alloc] initWithFrame:frame];
[videoView loadHTMLString:htmlString baseURL:nil];

[self.view addSubview:videoView];
[videoView release];
}

- (void)dealloc {
[super dealloc];
}

@end

I hope to get some information about this!

Thanks for reading!
