you upload a mpg, avi, or mov file, not a flash file, you cannot put actionscript for flash, in an mpg/avi/mov their servers convert it to a FLV file, not even flash, flv can't have actionscript either, so no, theres is no possible way for someone to cause harm or anything to ones computer by uploading a movie to youtube...

...plus you think Youtube/Google is stupid enough to let shit like that slide? they got programs that catch that shit, i doubt a big company like google, or hell even the guys who started youtube, being ex paypal programmers would even just "overlook" a security flaw like that...

Basically, it's a race to see who can figure it out first. At the moment (and for the foreseeable future), everything is fine and secure. What the future holds, however, is anybody's guess. :winkwink:
