Very cool, thanks for letting me know.
I had this build in too and removed it because I thought users might wanna only enter their credentials when they see that they are actually on the Twitter homepage.
Otherwise you could fake the HTML and get access to the users password. Maybe a bit too paranoid but anyways.

Hey Sonke,

Helpful lib, thanks! I wasn’t too keen on popping open a browser and forcing the user to manually enter a pin, so I made a few tweaks and got it working within Air.HTML making it more seamless. *Note that on Twitter, you must change the application type to Browser rather than Client.

I forked and pushed my changes here: http://github.com/shi11/Twitter
and posted an example here: http://gist.github.com/476155

I need to make a web app that works like this AIR app. Is it conceivable that this code could be merged with a ‘tweetr’ like crossdomain policy workaround? (http://tweetr.swfjunkie.com/docs/com/swfjunkie/tweetr/Tweetr.html) If so, how would I go about doing that.

I would like to try this example but I have no idea where to down load these classes — import com.soenkerohde.twitter.* Can you tell me where to download them?

Thank you for sharing this example.

Regarding web apps again here is the info

Looks like using the OAuth API is not possible for web apps with Security.sandboxType of remote unless Twitter change their crossdomain policy file.

Scooty, sorry I never tried a web app so if you have a fix for it I would be happy to integrate it in the source.

I have been playing around with your code as a web app rather than air and keep getting a Security Error when calling for the request token. Only happens when in side the browser and not when in standalone flash player.

Any ideas why this might be happening?

Thanks, I would really like to build more but don’t know when I will have time for it.
But since it’s open source go ahead and fork it

Great work Sönke;

Are you planning to develop your Twitter class further by adding more functionality?
