Actionscript 3 :: Retrieve Twitter Xml For Flash Site Via Php Properly?
May 18, 2010
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();
Im sorta beginner at AC3 and i've made a little FLA file wich i a want to compile and upload to a host for load it to my website.However, before i compile it i would like to put restrictions for it not to be loaded from other sites it might be requested by flash insert methods or whatever.Is there a way to retrieve info about the site or location the flash (swf) is being requested to be loaded/run?
I have developed a twitter API in Flash Professional CS4. It works fine when it plays in the flash player locally. But when I publish the file and play it in a browser it asks for settings to be modified. Since those were the local settings I have modified them and played the file in browser and it worked fine. when I upload the file to server and embed the swf into a html file and try to play it from the server nothing happens. The API doesn't load the feeds from twitter site. The display is always blank.Possible solutions I have tried.....
I am wondering if it is possible to use RegExp to retrieve info from a web site. I want to retrieve hurricane information from a web site by "scanning" the site for longitude, latitude information and have it return it to a text box on my app. Any ideas?
Is there a way to stop my site being cached. Every time you refresh the page or revisit it the countdown on it reverts to the time it was when you first visited it.
I'm noticing that my embedded font is not properly displaying when I browse to certain portions of my site with my other office pc's. The "about me" section of [URL] in particular. What's confusing is that the other portions of the site do display the font properly!?! I've uploaded the original .fla file to the server for anyone that's really interested in helping. It can be downloaded at [URL]
I'm creating my first website. I've managed to create a homepage. On the homepage is a enter site button, which once it is pressed starts thetimeline... I have an actions/labels layer which I am writing my code in. On frame number 'one' is my code below.
stop (); enter_site_btn.addEventListener (MouseEvent.CLICK, buttonClicked) function buttonClicked (event:MouseEvent): void
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 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.
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?
i have made a site in flash. stage size 955x600 i have exported it as fullscreen with no scale. the problem is that if i browse the site with a resolution of 800x600 (760x420 if i'm not wrong), the browser dont' add scrolls and its impossible to see the complete site. How can i fix this without resizing the site. i want the users to see with the proportions that i have now.. ijust want a scroll on the browser.
