for iOS:
You could use the embedded browser that GameSalad offers and send the user to a given URL.. (i.e. a facebook video url). I've not tried it at all recently but it should play the video in the standard video player and once done the user can press an X in the top right corner to close the embedded browser and go straight back to the game/app.
It's the same sort of way that Angry Birds first did its video cut scene thing... whether they still store their vids on YouTube I don't know.

This is a feature I would personally really like us to support, but it's ultimately going to come down to customer demand.

Joints and stuff first guys, let's not get sidetracked (I personally try to skip all videos if i could on my games lol so maybe my opinion is a bit biased)

push notifications & Facebook integration first guys. let's not get sidetracked.
I think Facebook integration is a must, I would have it top of my list lol. Its a must really I love gamesald, but the power of Facebook is just too much to miss as a publisher and I have been looking at other platforms out there to work with as they (most) have facebook integration or make it simple to do so. With the Facebook SDK available I would have thought this would already be done with gamesalad, but im no coder so im unsure how hard it is to implement.
So to sum up, I would vote for Facebook integration next!
I'd love to see access to things like camera, camera roll import, videos, a way of calling upon files inserted into the app like pdf's, a way to tap to dial a number, standard apple keyboard … this would open gameSalad to a whole new level of possibilities outside of games!
For game making, i'd like to see all what was mentioned above although I kinda gave up keep asking for joints … The closest it seems i get is if the wind is blowing strong from the direction of Amsterdam!
I'd also like to see some sort of fluid/liquid physics! That would be sweet!
A number of polls on this were published a while back. Many users are not interested in video, I am, but it is not going to happen anytime soon as there are too many basic requirements that need to be meet first. That was the wash up from SaladStraightShooter.

It's not even on the roadmap so I would not expect it anytime in the near future.
I know you said you don't want to go to a URL.
But just to make sure you know the options.

I don't think you'd hear any complaints if video support was included! It's easy enough to live without, but it would be a great addition.

Could you start a survey? Haha.
I've been wanting this feature for about a year and a half now.
But thanks for posting!

It is off the agenda.
