Awesome. Thanks a bunch; I’ve been looking for this for weeks. So. Now that I’ve got this going in Flash Builder, how can I modify this code to pull recent tweets by keyword? Is there a way to do that in this code?

Thank you, i got your example working in Flash Builder 4 Beta 2 with the Flex4.0 SDK.

Instead of using the public_timeline feed, you can use the user timeline : http://tsitter.com/statuses/user_timeline.json

This will prompt you to login, however you can send a parameter to view your timeline without logging in.
You can do this by editing this function of yours :

private function loadPublicTimeline():void

{
//For example, screen_name = AdobeSystemsNL
var screenName:String="AdobeSystemsNL";
twitterService.url="http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline.json?screen_name="+screenName;
twitterService.send();

}

Nice job!;

@everyone

Also you can remove /public_timeline…… and replace it with /user_timeline/”twitterid”, replacing twitterid and quotes with your actual twitter ID. Should bring up only your feeds instead of everyone’s. Twitter should remove that cross domain policy, you-tube has it also. It’s a real pain sometimes just to create a simple tool in flex for clients. Then again, flex 3 can become a pain in itself. C’mon Flash Builder 4!

thats great that you are talking about the twitter api,a good example of searching with the twitter api is on twiogle.com because you can search on twitter and google at the same time.

I tried your demo but I’m having problems exporting to bin-release. It works fine when I open the swf from the bin-debug folder but when I try to run it from the bin-release folder, the app launches but there is no content. Is there something I need to do to the compiler properties?

Is there something more in the php file I’m missing?
When I call the php in firefox it look identical to the original .json file.

I don’t get a security error, but I don’t get tweets either…just a “transferring data” message at the bottom of firefox.

Clearly I not doing something smart here.
