Actionscript 3 :: Retweet Via Twitter API Fails In Flash?
May 16, 2011
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?
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.
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.
I got an issue with passing a String to Twitter out of my flash. Unfortunately it won't encode the � and all the other characters correctly. I tried encodeURI, escape() and all the other Stuff, but it still displays the hexadecimal codes in the Twitterbox... My method is given below...
ActionScript Code: function DoTweetBox(me:MouseEvent):void {
i have a flash file that has a MovieClip, instance name "entry", on the stage.this movieclip has 2 dynamic textfield inside of it. i have and XML file with 5 entries that contain "title" and "description" each, how could i use one MovieClip to display all of the entries at once.do i have to duplicate "entry" MovieClip or do i have to create a different class for the movieclip?
[code]Im using flash to output the results i got from proxy.php. Problem is my flash will output all the twitter status in English only. If the status is written by another language, it will output a blank status.Any way to get chinese/korean/japanese or any other languages?My textbox is using Arial font.When i trace(xml); it didn show me those characters too.[code]
Am I using TwitterScript to retrieve Twitter data for inside a Flash site. Due to Twitter's crossdomain policy, I need to setup a php proxy...Firstly I made a simple one
<?php $url = $_GET['url']; readfile($url); ?>
but I then get this error
URL file-access is disabled in the server configuration
which is only resolved by getting my host to turn fopen() on, which I don't want to do.
Then I found this
<?php function get_content($url) { $ch = curl_init();
I have seen numerous tutorials to retrieve a feed. I can't however see anything on how to get the users avatar to display. Is it even possible in Flash?
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 have been googling for hours and have not yet found a solution to this problem.currently, I retrive the data from the twitter xml fileeverything works fine, my date format shows this: Fri Aug 12 03:25:40 +0000 2011But I want it to show this: 17 days agohere's my flash as3 code:
var myXMLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader(); //myXMLLoader.load(new URLRequest("http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline.xml?screen_name=arunshourie"));
I want to update a twitter status from a textbox in flash and use a button CLICK to pass the status to twitter. It goes like this:
[Code]...
The problem is in my languages we have 3 extra characters called. So in twitter I get this error message: Invalid Unicode value in one or more parameters So the problem is that I have to pass my String as utf-8, I think so at least. Is it a way to URL encode a String in as3?
I have the CS4 Creative Suite, I just got done checking for updates msg and downloaded all.
Dreamweaver, Acrobat and all others were installed but for some reason Flash is still at 10.0 I downloaded manually as well and still I'm on build 10.0.0.544
I've bought the new Adobe Web Premium CS5 and I have big problems with the Flash Professional CS5.
First time the application started correctly, but didn't start next time. I always had to remove all application settings in "Documents and Settings/user/Local Settings/Application Data/Flash CS5", what is already not very good.
I'm have Flash CS5 trial on windows 7, I want to install the updates but I get "Install Failed" without any other information.First I tried to install 11.02 which failed, so I tried to install 11.01 which finished with message "Done with errors"
