So, on my new portfolio site I wanted to incorporate Twitter within in it. Twitter, however changed their crossdomain.xml so you can not just load into your flash movie the rss feed. As a work around someone wrote a PHP script that totally solved my problem. You can see the code and how it works here http://blog.slawcup.com/2007/04/full-twitter-php-library-ver-01/.
So I always get questions about streaming FLV players. For special effects like the fire on Acidbetty.com or intro movies and simple embedded flv video players. So one issue I came up with was displaying the length of the video and also the current frame of the video in regard to minutes and seconds.
So the actionscript code below is the code I used to display current time playing and the total time of video. ie: 1:32 / 2:45.
Dafont.com has everything you will need plus thousands more!
I am not sure if its a good thing or a bad thing, but I got my start in Flash design right here, this book by Joshua Davis.
Flash to the Core and me were best friends one COLD winter and little did I know that I would become obsessed with Actionscript and Flash and actually make my living with it. Thanks Josh!
