As Alien109 mentioned, just find the URL to the FLV. I'm not entire sure if it will still work when uploaded to a server rather than running locally, but give it a try, and if it doesn't work, just reply back or open a new question.

And if all else fails, I found several ways to do it, both in AS2 and in AS3 in this Google result:

I believe there is also a set of classes that are made to interact with and gather YouTube videos into your Flash project, but for the life of me I cannot find it. :( I will reply back if I finally stumble across the library.

Cheers,
