I know its possible to host your own .flv files and play them using a flash player but I am wondering if I can create my own flash player to play videos that I created that are hosted on YouTube.

Sure. It's exactly the same as when you host your own FLV files, but you need to work out the FLV-address that youtube is using to store your file (it's a bit of a round-about to get it, but your best bet is to use the Tamper Data extention in Firefox and trace the request).
So technically feasible, yes. Whether Google will fire lawyers at you with their Patented Google Lawyer-pult is a different matter entirely. -

With that spirit we would still be using sliderules! -
Be sure to read the flash license agreements. I’m pretty sure you would have to follow the rules.

It's not the Flash agreements that you have to worry about. Adobe doesn't care what .FLV you're pointing to.
YouTube will care, since if you're not using their player to watch .FLV on their server, you won't get to see all the wonderful ads.
