I’ve just finished uploading the second video tutorial to Vimeo on how to use Tweetr – The AS3 Twitter Library. In the second installment of this series i will show you how to use OAuth in Tweetr.
Using OAuth in Tweetr from Sandro on Vimeo.
You can grab the Project Sourcecode here.
If you want to watch the video in the size it was intended for, go to the Tutorial Page on the Project Homepage.
Excellent tutorial, Sandro. Very clear and helpful. Thank you for this and the tweetr library.

One question: I’ve seen Flash apps/widgets where users can log into twitter by just entering their username and password. Is this using OAuth and just hiding the back and forth interactions, or is this done with another method? Tinker has a widget that does this, for example, and it is a very smooth login process.
Thanks,
Phil
Hi Phil,
Actually what you are referring to, is Basic Authentication, while tweetr supports this, it’s not the preferred way of doing user authentication anymore (less secure) since twitter is planning on disabling it in the near future.
Does Tweetr work for web based applications too? If so, do you have any tips handy to omit entering the pin-code manually?
