I’m building my first Timeline-Setter timeline for a features project that’s running next week. I’m trying to embed YouTube videos in the timeline events.

If I try to use the new embed code for YouTube’s iframe, it acts strangely. In this case, if I click to the next item, the audio continues playing. When I click back to the video, it’s a blank screen and won’t give me any commands to stop the audio.

If I use the old, flash-based YouTube embed code it works fine. But it’s flash, which I’m reluctant to use to avoid leaving iPad readers in the cold.

Do you know, what can I do to get the regular YouTube iframe to work?
