When loading Youtube videos through the StageWebView Air component I need the video to be scaled down to the viewport size, displaying black bars is ok, however what I end up seeing is a cropped version of the original size of the video instead.
I'm not seeing any extra parameters that I could use, the API seems to be very limited.
Any ideas how to play the video so even if the source is larger I can resize it to the viewport size?.
Normally I display Youtube as shown in this other Answer (but that loads a Flash Player version, which you may not want). PS: Remember it's use .com/v/VID_ID for Flash Player or use .com/embed/VID_ID for HTML5 Player.

You say you have similar code as the Android example posted as Answer? Why not try to open an iframe instead since that would allow a resize option?
An example of a custom size Youtube iframe...
<iframe width="800" height="600" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/"+ VID +"?autoplay=1" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe>
To open within iframe you'd have to make a dynamic webpage by code. Code below is untested but is based on this idea from Adobe forums. Just a starting point you could adjust / fix...
var html_Dynamic : String;
html_Dynamic = "<!DOCTYPE HTML>" +
"<html>" +
"<body>" +
"<iframe class=\"youtube-player\" style=\"border: 0; width: 100%; height: 100%; padding:0px; margin:0px\" id=\"ytplayer\" type=\"text/html\" src=\"https://www.youtube.com/embed/" +
VID + "?fs=0\" frameborder=\"0\">\n" + "</iframe>\n";
"</body>" +
"</html>";
