I started writing this tutorial so you could develop your first Twitter reader using AS3. Twitter is offering an API that gives developers the option to take this huge amount of chattering and create interfaces to interact with the data. However, the Twitter API has some issues that might create some problems with integration in Flash or Flex. So let's get started with this tutorial.

This tutorial is splited in 3 steps to cover all aspects of develop the tweets reader.

Many customers have purchase our products, but some don't know how to integrate them in their html projects. In the following tutorial we'll show how to integrate Flash Reseller products in a HTML page.

Flash is capable of loading external textual content at run time using the ActionScript 3 URLLoader Class. Loading external text at run time is a technique used to create Flash movies which can be easily updated without the need to go back to the FLA. The URLLoader Class is responsible for loading all textual content and that include in addition to regular text files, XML, HTML, and CSS.

A preloader is an essential asset in every single Flash movie you put on the internet as it prevents the movie from playing before downloading all its assets and also informs the user about how long he is expected to wait before the downloading process finishes. This tutorial will not require you to have any special ActionScript 3.0 knowledge andwill make use of the LoaderInfo class to retrieve downloading data.
