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?

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:

but then I embedded it into the page and now I get the .swf to appear but no feed!

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 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 have a atom feed from twitter and every entry looks like this:
<entry>
<id>tag:search.twitter.com,2005:9708181705990144</id>
<published>2010-11-30T20:39:45Z</published>

But this also gives me the href from the first link. So how can i filter this so i only get the href from the second link?

View 4 RepliesI 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.

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 have a flash file that is pulling in images from a folder and a .txt for text content. The code for the .txt file:

It cannot find it? What am I missing I can't figure out how to get this to work, and I want absolute paths. I'm sure it's really simple, I just can't figure this out.
I need to feed the path of a target to a function and it needs to rewrite to set a value to it. example below

View 2 RepliesI am using Adobe Air to get data from SalesForce, and present it in a datagrid. I am using a query to get the data, and then put it into an arraycollection that is bound to the datagrid, this works correctly and the data is displayed. The problem is that I want to convert the Account Id in the Event to show the account Name. To do this I am using the following code:-
_serviceWrapper.query( "Select * From Event order by StartDateTime asc", new mx.rpc.Responder( eventQueryHandler, faultHandler ))}
protected function eventQueryHandler(qr:ArrayCollection):void {
var acctIdss:String = "";
for each(var contact:DynamicEntity in qr) {
[Code] .....
This works and displays the Account Name, the problem is that when I use this script and then Sync Changes to SalesForce all the records that have been displayed are identified as needing to be syncronised even if they have only been displayed. If I skip the function eventQueryHandler, and link my query to the OnQueryResult function then there is no problem, but only the Account Id can be displayed. How can I stop Air marking these records as having changed, or is there a better way to achieve this?
I have a TabNavigator component that keeps added a hash (#) to the URL. I need to prevent this. I have it set to historyManagementEnabled="false" but it is still adding the # to the URL when it initializes. The reason why adding this hash is such a problem is because, I am using .htaccess to give my URL a pretty URL like domain.com/designer/category/product/id when the page is really located at domain.com/product.php?pid=id So in order for my assets to load correctly I had to add a base tag like this:
<base href="[URL]" />
But since I have this base tag set, whenever my flex app adds the # to the URL, the page is now automatically redirected to the homepage. Any way to stop the TabNavigator from adding the # to the URL.
I need to find all hash tags in this text using ActionScript 3 (AS3):
Lorem ipsum dolor #sit_amet, consetetur
sadipscing, sed #diam-nonumy
eirmod tempor #invidunt ut labore #et
What's a good method to do this?
I am developing a flex application for mobile devices. This application will sync customer data down from an api to the mobile device. But once on the device I plan to hold it in sqlLite DB. How can I secure this data? I know that I could hash it but I guess that that someone would be able to decompile the application and get the hash key. I am new to flex and mobile development.
View 2 RepliesI'm looking for an easy way to compute SHA 256 in Action Script on the BlackBerry PlayBook. I saw the mx.data.crypto.SHA256 class that seems fit for the purpose but it looks like it is not available on the standard PlayBook libraries, or do I need to import any specific SWF? More generaly, if you know of an easy-to-use cryptographic library for Action Script, I'd welcome that too.
View 3 RepliesI'm using a RegExp that finds words with a hash in front such as #example .
If there is a link in a text with a hash like example.com/#about it comes to problems. So how to extend it to find only words that have also a space in front of the #? (E.g.: hello #world)
I've got a TextArea with some text in it. Sometimes there are linebreaks.
I'm using SelectionBeginIndex and SelectionEndIndex, along with substring() to get the current selection.
The only problem I'm running into is that if that selection includes any line breaks, it doesn't understand.
For example, if the text was:
Code:
This is my first line of text.
ABCDEF
Let's say I selected from the first letter all the way to, and including, B.
The output of the substring() with the begin and end selection, because of the linebreaks, would be:
Code:
This is my first line of text.ABCD
Here's the AS Code I used to illustrate the problem.
ActionScript Code:
checkButton.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, checkSelection);
myText.alwaysShowSelection = true;
myText.textField.alwaysShowSelection = true;
[Code].....
How can I capture those linebreaks? htmltext isn't an option, because there's no selectionBeginIndex and selectionEndIndex for htmltext...

View 1 RepliesI am having a pretty irritating problem with the audio I am using for a Flash game which I am making using Flash 8 and Actionscript 2.0. The game itself is near complete and is already hosted online, it is a simple 2d shooter game where enemies go from one side of the screen to the other and you shoot them. I have built a preloader which works well however I have just added audio to the game, and I am finding that the preloader doesn't seem to take this audio into account. The game itself loads up and is ready to play, however it could be another 30 seconds or so before the audio will kick in.
I have a main song loop which plays in the background (triggered once the start game button is pressed). A bullet shot sound when the mouse is clicked (triggered through code), and various sound effects that are played on the timelines of the enemy movie clips characters. Part of my problem is that im implementing the audio in so many different ways and I am confused by the complexities of using audio in Flash. Should I build a separate preloader for the audio? Or am I simply doing something wrong in Flash itself when it comes to including the audio?

View 1 RepliesI'm building a Flash banner (as3) for AdWords, but I can't find in their documentation whether it is possible to add hash or querystring variables to appear in the eventual target url when u are using a clickTAG. Ideally I would like to use both. For example, my banner has four input fields and I would like to build my target url thusly:
var base:String= "http://www.example.com";
var qs:String= "?one=" + input1.text + "&two=" + input2.text;
var hs:String= "#three=" + input3.text + "&four=" + input4.text;
var targetUrl:String= base + qs + hs;
flash.net.navigateToURL(new URLRequest(targetUrl), "_blank");
Is this possible with AdWords while using clickTAG?
