ActionScript 3.0 :: Twitter Widgets For A Website?
Mar 14, 2011
[URL]I'm using CS5, AS3 and this is my code so far (I didn't complete the tutorial, as when it said to test it and I kept getting errors, I realised something was wrong)
Code:
var myXMLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();
myXMLLoader.load(new URLRequest("http//twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline.xml?screen_name=_Salter_"));
myXMLLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);
[code]....
I've looked online and changed some publish settings, changing the local playback security to 'Access network only' and default linkage to 'merged into code'?
i've built the following site. [URL] the client wanted a video player - so i built a one, but bravo now says we have to use their video widgets if we want to post any of the topchef videos on our site... i was unhappy about this, stylistically, but fine - we do what we have to do. the problem is now i am thinking it might not be possible the embed code, to put the widget in an html file, is below. i tried using the loader class with the url given in data=. it gave me a sandbox security violation. the problem i am having - i think - is the id=. is there away to pass this with Loader or URLLoader or something. if we wanted to blow off bravo�s request to use their widgets - is there any good way of figuring out where they keep actual video files?
I want to create a photo browser web widget that can be embedded in a web page (e.g alice's blog) but I am not sure whether I should go the flash or javascript route. Flickr went with a flash based widget. Why would they do it in flash over javascript? why would you chose js based widget over flash.
I bought a static flash site from flashden. But the developer does not reply my questions. I want to add widgets such as flash google earth or photo galery, video galery as an external swf but I could not. How can make this?
I'm very new to Flash, but I have an app that uses mult widgets. What I need to know is if one of my widgets data changes can I force another widget on the screen to force it to refresh its data.
I have a client where some of their employees have flash installed and some don't. So always using the swfuploader module widget isn't going to work and it doesn't gracefully fall back to HTML. In fact it just leaves a non-functioning button in its wake.
So what I would like to do is detect when they don't have Flash available and switch to the standard Drupal File Upload widget. Now in my head it seems like this would only work if done on the server-side. But can that even be done reliably on the server side?
Also, can this on-the-fly widget switching even work in Drupal or will it pitch a fit?
I've contacted Adobe sales and tech support, and realized that I need to talk to someone who actually develops with these tools.I want to develop some simple graphical widgets with the ability to reload themselves via an xml-socket a couple of times a second. Which Adobe tool should I buy-- Flash Builder, or Flash Pro?
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'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?
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
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 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 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:
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'.
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 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.
