Javascript :: Flash Twitter API With JSON?
Mar 20, 2012
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]

note: using django/python/javascript/flash So its been two days since I'm stuck at the error. I did the things you told me to and found a couple of ways around it but nothing worked. These are the results.Javascript does not receive the normal string it has to be a json object so. in views.py
somestring = json.dumps("HELLO WORLD")
which renders this in HTML
"HELLO WORLD"
and in javascript it is rendered like this
a240527176321_quote_hello
Now, since it is a json object I need to convert it back in flash. But when it gets in flash where I receive it like this
function something(hellovar){
.....
......
}
it does not even come inside the function.

I've ran into a weird problem while trying to send a JSON command to my company's flash player. Basically, i am unable to pass a playlist to this player - nothing happens - using the following command:
player.sendEvent("LOAD_PLAYLIST", json_str);
but the weirdest part is that if I print the entire command using Firebug's console.log, copy it and paste it into the code (thus hardcoding the playlist), everything works like a charm.
For instance, the following code:
player.sendEvent("LOAD_PLAYLIST", "{"streams": [{"src": "rtmp://xxx.xxx.xx:80/redirectvodxxx/nas2.share/h264/512x384/progname1/prog_1_20110804.mp4"},{"src": "rtmp://xxx.xxx.xx:80/redirectvodxxx/nas2.share/h264/512x384/progname2/prog_2_20110804.mp4"},{"src": "rtmp://xxx.xxx.xx:80/redirectvodxxx/nas2.share/h264/512x384/progname3/prog_3_20110804.mp4"}]}");
was obtained using
console.log('[loadNewListofContents] playing the following content list: player.sendEvent("LOAD_PLAYLIST", ' + json_str.toString() + ');');
and if i hardcode it, it works!I've tried all the toString() tricks I can think of (ex: json_str.toString(), '"' + json_str.toString() + '"', etc...) but so far no such luck.

I'm working on a Flash AS2 application that needs to post JSON data to a web service.In previous projects, I've used LoadVars.send() or LoadVars.sendAndLoad() successfully to manage this:
var send_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
send_lv.data = JSON.stringify({some json object});
var response_lv:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
response_lv.onData = function(rawdata) {
[code]....
In somepage.php, I can grab that JSON data using $_POST['data'].However, on this project, the developer of the web service requires the JSON content to be the BODY of the request (i.e., not a name/value pair). Is this possible with LoadVars?

I need to call a function in JS that's expecting a JSON object. Can I do this from External Interface? The company's example (after the include file url) in HTML looks like this:
//there's an js include URL earlier//
Shopwithme.Initialize({
"id":"prod1234",
[code]...
But, I need to dictate these vars through Flash. How do I call this function using External Interface?This is my EI code, but I'm obviously off base, since it's not working:
ExternalInterface.call("Shopwithme.Initialize",[{ "id":"prod1234",
"type":"2","URL":"http://www.somelink.com"}]);
What do I need to do to call this javascript?

Is there anyway to export JSON data to CSV/Excel without any interaction with the server side? Using Javascript only? or Flash? I'm currently using ZeroClipboard to copy the value into the clipboard but I'd like to open directly the generated value into Excel from the browser (FF, Chrome, IE, etc...).

I was wondering if someone could explain or point me in the direction of how to implement an API that uses JSON in ActionScript 3.0. What I specifically want to know is how would I grab specific information. The following is how I do it in XML but I don't know how I would do something similar in JSON as in getting the equivalent of an XML tag. For example with the twitter API I'd like to grab the text [URL]

Created an editable flex grid which exposes a method called getGridData() to javascript. I am using the JSON.encode() method of the [url]....library to convert the grid object's dataProvider into JSON before returning it.
ExternalInterface.addCallback("getGridData", getGridData);
public function getGridData():String
{[code].....
However, when I sort a column in the user interface, the encode method is failing throwing the following error
Property usingCustomCompareFunction not found on mx.collections.SortField and there is no default value.

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);
[code]....
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 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?

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.
