ActionScript 3.0 :: Loading RSS (Twitter) Feed Into SWF
Mar 23, 2011
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'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?
how 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 have built a simple twitter feed flash app and it works just fine when accessed directly, but does not work when embedded into the page. I suspect that the answer might be simple, but I just can't find it.
[Code]...
I can't use JavaScript, because I want it to be embedded in my signature on a certain website, and obviously <script> tag is forbidden. EDIT: problem is solved, it's very embarrassing, but like in most cases it was a path error...
I built out a Twitter Application that pulls in a feed. It works. Found out from the client today they want it to display the feed based on a specific HASH TAG .... not just their account.
ActionScript Code: function loadXML():void { xmlholder.load(new URLRequest("http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline.xml?
This 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);
I am currently trying to build a news application in which I load news (text) and images files from an XML file. Because the native images are too small I also want to resize themI don't seem to be able to get the resizing part to work. Here is my code (only the relevant funtions):
ActionScript Code: function laadXML (event:Event):void {
If I was trying to link to a specific rss feed item link would I have to load it into an array and identify each tag in the item as its own object and access the url from there or can I access it from the current XML obj that is holding the feed?
I'm dynamically loading images from a JSON feed into individual movie clips and then adding the clips to the stage(both by addChild)--basically creating thumb tiles. I've added a click handler to do something when the MC is clicked. WHAT'S MY PROBLEM: The problem I have is that the MC is clickable, but the content is not. For instance, the clip has a white box in it, and the loaded image is made slightly smaller and centered to give a white border around the pic. An empty clip loaded to the stage works fine, and the white border around the image is clickable, but the image is not.
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)
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'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>"; [Code] .....
i am making a twitter widget and i get the tweets from the twitter API XML file.i have some tweets that have a URL in them but they cant be clicked they need to be copied my qeustion in if it is possible to make the links clickable.i am using actionscript 3.0 in flash CS5 adobe
I got this twitter script from Blue_chi.it works in Actionscript 3. How do i get this code to work in Actionscript 2?
var myXMLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); myXMLLoader.load(new URLRequest("twitter.php")); myXMLLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML); [code]...............
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:
I 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 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.
