Does anyone know where there is a good tutorial on how to place twitter updates onto a flash website?
View 4 RepliesI 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.

I'm writing this post because it seems there is a lack of support and updates regarding Adobe Flash player for the Sony PS3 and also to show that there is a demand for such an update to be made.It appears the BBC is making an effort, even though PS3 users do not have the latest Flash Player, you can still catch up on all missed BBC shows on the new official BBC iPlayer support for the PS3. See the link below.
http:[url]...............
The current version of Flash Player for the PS3 is outdated (on the latest UK firmware v3.01 at the time of this post) and after spending an hour scouring the internet for news on a forthcoming update, with no success, I've decided to come hear and ask why that is? So why is the Sony PS3 always more than 12 months behind on these updates?
I'm searching for a scriptable/automated way to have the latest version of Flash installed on Windows XP and Windows 7 testing machines.
These machines serve testing purposes, however, because of the number of different machines we have, it is unwieldy to update them all by hand.
How can the installation of Flash be automated?
i have a dynamically attached movie clip with a dynamic, html enabled text link. This all works fine.. what i want to know is how do i have the link update the content div (a separate div than the one the flash window is in) with a new php script?
View 2 RepliesI have Adobe Web Premium CS4, whenever the updater runs it fails to install any flash updates, no matter how many time sI try it always fails,
View 2 RepliesI'm a CS4 developer, working in Flash, Dreamweaver, Premiere Pro, Photoshop, etc. I love Adobe products, but I am getting pretty weary of Flash Player updates coming every other day, sometimes every day. I work on several computers, both at work and at home, so the inconvenience of having to stop and go through the update process is multiplied. I know it's not usually a time-consuming process, but still, why so frequent?
It might not be so bad if not for all the other self-updating applications on my systems, not the least of which are the various Windows updates. It's just a little obnoxious.
I have a PHP process that does a bunch of stuff and I want to send feedback to the Flash client that calls it, as the request is being processed. However, since I'm listening for the COMPLETED event, I don't get the feedback until the PHP completes execution (at which time all the buffered messages arrive at once).

I have a list of items, I then retrieve another list of items. I need to compare the two lists and come up with a list of items that are existing (for update), a list that are not existing in the new list (for removal) and a list of items that are not existing in the old list (for adding).
Here is what I'm doing now - basically creating a lookup object for testing if an item exists.

I have a desktop flash application (.exe). Is there a way to automatically update the client's software to the last version?
View 3 RepliesI'm using Flash and AS3 to write an app for iOS and for Android and I'm saving XML-data using shared objects. Now it struck me that when I supply an update to the app store and the user updates the app, will the shared objects remain intact or will they be replaced? I'd very much like them to remain as they were.

View 1 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 am using the Tweetr AS3 library in Flash. Authentication, timeline retrieval and posting to Twitter all work fine. For some reason the Retweet function works only a small part of the time and fails most of the times - I get a Stream Error #2032 . When checking in Firebug I see that the call is made [URL].. but it returns a404 error. I can't see any difference between the times that it works and the times it doesn't.
Are there any known issues with Twitter's Retweet API that may cause this problem?
I know how to get json data into flash with twitter's search api because the array names normally aren't weird, but I'm not really too experienced with json. For the trends api data, I'm not sure how to access it because the array name is the date and theres spaces and colons in it, and I'm not really sure what to do. Normally in flash to get the json data I'd do something like
json.trends[0].2012-01-21 01:20.name
but that doesn't work. Can someone tell me how to pull out the name data when the array name is the date. I apologize if I'm calling these things the wrong name, I'm not too sure on what their proper names are. [URL]
Does anybody know if there is way to make a flash chat with twitter?It seems the biggest hurdle is that when you twitter somebody with @username, the message doesn't show up on his main page ( it only shows in his personal log in page ) so I can't call the tweets from other ppl back to the flash app.
