View 0 RepliesIm trying to create an implied webpage link to twitter, facebook, you tube ect. I have buttons with the logo on it! However for my work i can not just link to a webpage as it all needs to be contained in the files i.e. on a computer that doesnt have an internet link! I was thinking of having the page as a swf that loads in on a seperate layer on top of the main site, which can then be closed via a exit link on the page!
However im not sure what script i would need to put on the Facebook button to crate it to load, and what script to put on the x to make the link close! Or am i even doing it the right way! Should i be some how enbeding the webpages in the the flash file?
I've created an app which uploads pictures onto facebook, works 100%
But now im trying to work out how to upload images to Twitter,
Does anyone know if this is possible through flash? and if so can someone point me in the right direction?
I have created a client with Flex Builder which works in a browser but also in an Air windowed application. I must connect it to a server and it has to do asynchronous request related to changing data of the server.Because of the too much expensive cost of LiveCycleDS license, I was looking for other ways, maybe open source and i found the following solutions:
Adobe BlazeDS
Granite Data Services
WebORB Community Edition
I want to ask you which is the easy way to create the solution described above, expecially i want to use J2EE application server type.
When Flex application make an asynchronus HTTP request, does it add a special header to the request, like some JavaScript framework does? Something that indicates whether this request is an AJAX call/not.I just want my server side code to return different response format, depending on whether the request is made from browser/flex.
View 1 RepliesI'm trying to reproduce a POST request that was captured from WireShark using PHP. This POST request was sent by a Flash (.swf) object, so it's a little bit complicated in configuring the header.It does not print out anything in the end, so there must be something wrong with PHP code that I could not see.Here is what WireShark captured:
POST /engine/ HTTP/1.1
Host: abcdef.com
User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686; rv:2.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/4.0
Accept: text/html,application/xhtml+xml,application/xml;q=0.9,*/*;q=0.8[code]....
The result is a blank page instead of response from server.
im making this app, and i have it connect to the twitter api, but then say the facbook button or any of them is pressd the tweets are still displayed. Im sure its simple to remove a event listener, i know it exists but i have never done it so i have no idea how to do it... Can someone show me please?
This is my code(dont worry about the top too much, its just buttons twitter is near the bottom)

I'm trying to connect to the Twitter API via an AS3 app, but I keep getting
Error #2032: Stream Error. URL: https://api.twitter.com/oauth/request_token
When I try URLRequest("https://api.twitter.com/oauth") it at least loads something and calls my Event.COMPLETE listener. Can Flash just not connect to the Twitter API without a third-party? I have tried numerous AS3 OAuth packages and keep getting the same thing.
edit and I'm using Security.loadPolicyFile("http://www.twitter.com/crossdomain.xml");
I'm creating a new site in flash and was wondering if you can import twitter updates to work with the swf? will this be php based? or what?
View 3 RepliesI'm trying to get the last post of a clients' Twitter feed embedded into a dynamic .swf file. I thought I had it and indeed if you go here it works:
[URL]
but then I embedded it into the page and now I get the .swf to appear but no feed!
[URL]
It's supposed to connect to a php page that does the work and I'm enclosing it here. I do have crossdomain.xml set up properly. Anyone know why it doesn't connect on my page but it does by itself?
<?php
/*

I've been putting together a script to parse twitter feeds via xml, add the html code to link any hyperlinks in the post and throw each resulting post into one of two textareas (box0 & box1). Unfortunatly it is printing all 3 (the amount so far posted) posts into each text box. How to fix this code to
a) put 1 post per box and
b) limit the amount of posts it pulls from the xml
Code:
function checkWord(word:String):String {
if(word.indexOf("http:") == 0) {
// This word starts with "http:" at index 0 (the beginning of the word)
// Wrap it in html href (anchor) tags:
return "<a href='" + word + "'>" + word + "</a>";

Is it possible to put a Twitter box on a Flash site? I'm using Action script 2.

View 5 Replieshow I might get a Twitter widget working INSIDE a AS2 flash file?I found widgets on the twitter site, but, although I've seen references elsewhere to SWF widgets at twitter, right now the only thing I can find is using Javascript. (Maybe they canned all of the SWF widgets?)[I have found some AS3 stuff, but my understanding is that I can NOT load an AS3 swf into an AS2 one.]
Is there a way to load external javascript content into an object inside of the SWF? (kinda like an iFrame inside of the swf that can load the file with the javascript)
I got this twitter script from Blue_chi.it works in Actionscript 3. How do i get this code to work in Actionscript 2?

I am loading an rss (twitter) feed into a .swf. I got the rss url off of the twitter account page, and registered that address with my feedburner account. In flash, I use URLLoader to load the feedburner url. Using Firefox, the data returned is an xml formatted list of tweets that I can parse easily using as3syndicationlib. Works great.
Using Chrome, the data is returned as HTML: The html for the page you would see if you put an rss address into chrome, subscribe buttons and all. It's as if I make a request to the rss url, chrome takes the raw rss data, converts it to a readable html page and sends THAT back to flash...Parsing this would be a nightmare.
I created a Twitter Feed reader using a tut fromBy itself, it works GREAT! However when I try to incoroporate it into my fla for compiling into my ipa it doesn't work in my swf. I know that if I compile the twitter reader at runtime with my main fla that it won't work in my ipa because my swf has a class as running in it. But when I try putting my twitter reader directly into my main fla I get nothing! My scene loads but it pulls down no data. Here is my class code that I am using:

View 1 RepliesI need 3 different regular expressions one that finds at the beginning of the string a 'D' and a space then a name, so 'D patrickgates hello there' would return 'D patrickgates', or if all possible would return just 'patrickgates' one that will find the @ sign and a name together anywhere in the string so '@patrickgates hello, world' would work and return '@patrickgates' or if at all possible would return just 'patrickgates' one that will find 'RT' and a space and then '@' and the username at the beginning of the string so 'RT @patrickgates' would work if returning just the username and also being true isn't possible with one regex, then I could use one to match to, and one that will delete the 'D' or the '@' or the 'RT'.

I've got a Flex 3 website. How do I add a Twitter share button?
View 3 RepliesThis is probably a stupid question but I have spent the last 5 days searching the net and trying different ways to load a twitter feed into my air application for android (I would like to port it over to iOS but it needs building first)The best results I had was loading the twitter XML feed
var xmlData:XML = new XML();
var theURL_ur:URLRequest = new URLRequest("http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/weliebeneath.xml");
var loader_ul:URLLoader = new URLLoader(theURL_ur);
loader_ul.addEventListener("complete", fileLoaded);

But it will not load into my dynamic text box.
I am trying to post a "tweet" to my twitter using Flex (using the Flex 3.5 SDK and Flex Builder 4 if that makes any difference). On an mxml file I've created a button simply to make it easy to call an AS3 function, and in the function, I'm making a URL request. Obviously I'm doing something wrong, because my tweet ain't posting. I got these variables in the curl request provided by Twitter themselves, which actually worked. My guess is that I'm formatting something incorrectly, but I don't know what that is. Here is the code I'm using:

I have read a lot about parsing JSON with Actionscript. Originally it was said to use this library. [URL] but it seems Flash Player 11 has native support for it now. My problem is that I cannot find examples or help that takes you from beginning to end of the process. Everything I have read seems to start in the middle. I have no real experience with JSON so this is a problem. I don't even know how to point ActionScript to the JSON file it needs to read.
I have a project with a tight deadline that requires me to read twitter through JSON. I need to get the three most recent tweets, along with the user who posted it, their twitter name and the time those tweets were posted.
The back end to this is already set up I believe by the development team here, therefor my JSON files or XML just needs to be pointed to and then I need to display the values in the interface text boxes I have already designed and created.
I'm trying to learn how to get my own facebook & twitter wall status into flash so that I can export it out and install it in my iPhone.After reading the facebook and twitter API documentation, I'm still very confussed on how to use them.
View 1 RepliesI have a flashgame, somewhat like moonlander, and at the end of the game I want players to be able to submit their score to twitter.I tried searching the internet and got a code, but it's not completely working as it should.See when you push the button with this code:
ActionScript Code:
on (release) {
gametime = _root.utime;[code]....
All it does is create a new tweet that says"played and scored #".I tried mutiple things to get it to display what it's supposed to show, but if I replace anything between +'s with something else the buttons stops working. what I should put there to get the score calculated, and have the game title etc. displayed in the tweet?(I don't seem to able to post links yet so all the extra .'s are there for a reason)
I can load RSS feed from twitter in flash, but when I put it in my website it doesn't load.
