We have add a bunch of new functionality to Empressr Some of the enhancements include and fresh new design, a slew of new transitions, and twitter integration. Also be sure to check out the recording feature in the editor. You could easily create your voice overs within the empressr editor and the assets get automatically placed into your project library.

I’ve been messing around with the twitter API and have noticed that there where no text components that where Twitter enabled. So I decided to extend Text to be twitter friendly. There are probably a million different ways of doing this but this worked for me the best.

I’ve been spending a lot of time using twitter, so thought i may as well create a quick little app for changing my status. I’ll be implementing this in a couple experiments that i am going to be working on in the near future. For now, here is a quick little interface for you to tweet me or anyone else.

Unfortunately my company will not allow be release this source yet…

When character counts are critical as in building a twitter or SMS app you could use services such at tinyurl.com and bit.ly to help save text real-estate. I prefer bit.ly since it’s domain has less characters then tinyurl’s

The code is really quite simple. All that you need to do is communicate with bit.ly ‘s API and it returns the new shortened URL via its API. Check out http://bit.ly/docs for full API.

original call
http://bit.ly/api?url=URL (Example: http://bit.ly/api?url=http://twitabit.com)

bit.ly response:

http://bit.ly/2oCfqc

Seems easy enough, but the problem comes when doing this with in Flex. You will quickly see once you test on your server Flex will alert you that there is a Sandbox violation. This simply means that bit.ly does not have a crossdomain.xml file that grants you permission to receive data from them.
