Does Tweetr work for web based applications too? If so, do you have any tips handy to omit entering the pin-code manually?

Hi Guido

It would probably be easier if you would post your problem over at the google groups site at: http://groups.google.com/group/tweetr-as3-library/.

Thanks,
Sandro

Hi Sandro.
I forgot to import a certain library , which is why I got that error. Solved.
But still I can’t get any Tweet display in flash. So I have been checking the getUserTimeLine method and added some traces in it.

Code :
public function getUserTimeLine(id:String = null, since_id:String = null, since_date:String = null, max_id:Number = 0, page:Number = 0):void
{
…

trace (“request = ” , request);
urlLoader.load(url);
}

From the Flash Output I got :
request = /statuses/user_timeline.xml

I would assume that in the request sting the username should be concatenated …

Hi Sandro

in the output I get
Error opening URL ‘http://https://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.xml?hash=dG91cmluZ19tb2JpbGlzOnRtcHc4MDY2′

So it seems to mix the http with an https… How can I solve this ?

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.

Comment on Embedding Cascading Style Sheets in Flash/Flex by Sandro

Actually you can apply those stylesheets on Flex Text Objects. It requires a little trick though. Check out: http://www.flexfreaks.com/forums/viewtopic.php?id=6

I am assuming but this will only work when you set the styleSheet of a textInput / textArea. This will not work on any Flex class. right?

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
