1. One OBJECT is available.

2. The source code for the OBJECT is


<div id="uploaderapi_swf_placeholder">

<embed id="uploaderapi_swf" height="1" width="1"
flashvars="apiId=uploaderapi_swf&apiInit=uploaderapi_Ready" style="left:
553.5px; top: 159px; width: 98px; height: 23px;"
allowscriptaccess="always" wmode="transparent" quality="high"
name="uploaderapi_swf"
src="http://s.ytimg.com/yt/swf/uploaderapi-vfl81865.swf"
type="application/x-shockwave-flash"/>

</div>

3. I need to click the OBJECT.

I have tried:

$ie.element_by_xpath("//embed[@id='uploaderapi_swf']")
==>
main.rb:18: undefined method `click' for nil:NilClass (NoMethodError)



THE FULL CODE is :

require 'rubygems'
require 'watir'
$ie=Watir::IE.new

#$ie.maximize()
$ie.goto("http://www.youtube.com/")
sleep(2)
$ie.link:)text, 'Sign In').click
sleep(2)
$ie.form:)id, 'gaia_loginform').text_field:)id,
'Email').set('jazzezravi')
$ie.form:)id, 'gaia_loginform').text_field:)id, 'Passwd').set('jazzez')
$ie.button:)name, 'signIn').click
sleep(2)
$ie.link:)text, 'Upload Video File').click
sleep(2)
