I’m trying to use Flash CS4/AS3 to pull in the latest Twitter entries for a user, and it works fine when i run it locally, but i receive this error when it’s on a server:

TypeError: Error #1034: Type Coercion failed: cannot convert flash.events::SecurityErrorEvent@25590431 to flash.events.IOErrorEvent.
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEventFunction()
at flash.events::EventDispatcher/dispatchEvent()
at flash.net::URLLoader/redirectEvent()

Has anyone run into this before? Any ideas? I’m also open to other Twitter API’s seeing as there isn’t really an official one anymore. Thanks in advance!

I tested in Flex 3 and it works fine, but when I try to use it in Flex 4 I get two errors, Doesn’t recognise these two functions:

loadUserTimeline
search

I guess its something to do with importing of the swc, not sure any pointers anyone? I put it all in

Thanks

I got the same problem when I try to search anything they throw this error that property lenght not found. What I solve that problem? I’m trying to search anything and got some problems.

Thanks in advance!

Hi, you saved my life!

Ran perfectly, i just use the “fromUser” to filter my search and finish!

Thanks for your example.

Best Regards.

I am getting this error when I try to run the search function -
ReferenceError: Error #1069: Property length not found on com.twitter.api.data.TwitterSearchData and there is no default value.

Any ideas??

There are other options out there now, Tweetr is a good one. Lots of documentation, can be used with pure AS3

i found out using the _twitterSearch

_twitter = new Twitter();
_twitterSearch = new TwitterSearch();
_twitterSearch.addKeyword(“apple”);
_twitter.addEventListener(TwitterEvent.ON_SEARCH, onSearchResult, false,0,true);
_twitter.search(_twitterSearch);

private function onSearchResult(event : TwitterEvent) : void
{
var twitterStatus : TwitterStatus;
for (var i : int = 0; i < event.data.length; i++)
{
twitterStatus = event.data[i];
trace(twitterStatus.text);
}
}
