As long as you are building an AIR app you are okay, but if you're working in Flex and intending to put the result online somewhere, it's not going to work. This is due to Twitter's unfortunate ongoing blocking of Flash apps by using a restrictive crossdomain.xml policy. There is no way right now for a Flash application to make requests of anything other than the search API, unless you use a proxy, which is very lame.
Here are some recent threads discussing crossdomain issues with the API: http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_frm/thread/d3230be66c27c88e/b25653be788942c9?lnk=gst&q=crossdomain#b25653be788942c9 http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_frm/thread/4adf2a0297ce052d/e6831b2340a30478?lnk=gst&q=crossdomain#e6831b2340a30478 http://groups.google.com/group/twitter-development-talk/browse_frm/thread/e35a708400b529b3/4eec7a31e269c030?lnk=gst&q=crossdomain#4eec7a31e269c030 On Nov 26, 9:31 pm, Wilfred yau <wld991...@gmail.com> wrote: > I think you are using Basic Auth to login, but it don't work well in > Flex, > you should try to use OAuth that have better support on Flex. > > any you can use some library to help you finish the > project:http://code.google.com/p/tweetr/http://code.google.com/p/oauth-as3/ > > sample code is including in the library. > > On Nov 26, 9:27 pm, Jef <aerts...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Hey guys > > > I'm building an application for a school project where I should be > > able to do everything you can on Twitter.com, but make it accessible > > on the desktop (AIR project) > > But I have absolutely no clue how I can login as a user and update my > > status.
