Presenting a Twitter-feed in a Flex app

Hi!

I’m currently learning Flex through the book “Flex for Dummies”. Now I’m working on my first “real” Flex app, where I’m trying to present data from a Twitter-search.

I’m not good at actionscript (in fact, I started to learn the basics a few days ago), so some help here would be much appriciated!

<mx:HTTPService url="http://search.twitter.com/search.atom?q=#hemnes" fault="feilmelding();" resultFormat="xml" id="twitter"/>

Here I’m trying to grab the XML-data from a search to find any tweets with #hemnes in it.

To present the XML-data, I’m trying my luck with the TileList object in Flex:


<mx:Panel width="50%" height="100%" layout="absolute" title="Communicate through Twitter using #keyword">
<mx:TileList dataProvider="twitter" width="100%" labelField="@title">
</mx:TileList>
</mx:Panel>

Do I need to define som functions in AS to get this to work?

Tried to read through the Twitter API, but couldn’t find anything usefull for this purpose :hat:

Thx!
