I have a site I built in AS3 that included a twitter widget I learned how to create from a tutorial: ([http://www.republicofcode.com/tutorials/flash/twitter\_widget/3.php](http://www.republicofcode.com/tutorials/flash/twitter_widget/3.php)).  
Now, the site has to be in AS2!!! I can convert everything fine, except I’m really lost on the widget…  
Here’s the actionscript:  
var myXMLLoader:URLLoader = new URLLoader();  
myXMLLoader.load(new URLRequest(“twitter.php”));  
myXMLLoader.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, processXML);

function processXML(e:Event):void{  
var myXML:XML = new XML(e.target.data);

tweet\_1.text = myXML.status[0].text;  
tweet\_2.text = myXML.status[1].text;  
tweet\_3.text = myXML.status[2].text;  
tweet\_4.text = myXML.status[3].text;  
}

follow\_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onFollow);  
function onFollow(e:MouseEvent):void{  
navigateToURL(new URLRequest(“http:///twitter.com/blue\_chi”));  
}  
follow\_btn.buttonMode = true;
