yea. you cant get the feed directly due to twitter's cross domain policy.
http://twitter.com/crossdomain.x….you can use this php script and create a cron job to run the script to retrieve and write the file to your server.
<?php
//--- load in the xml ---
$theRAW = file_get_contents("http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline.xml?screen_name=<your user name here>");
$theXML = simplexml_load_string($theRAW);//--- load in xml file to edit. if doesnt exist, create ---
$xmlFile = "yourfilename.xml";
$xmlHandle = fopen($xmlFile, "w");//--- set xml as string to be written ---
$xmlString = $theXML->asXML();
echo($xmlString);//--- write xml to file ---
fwrite($xmlHandle, $xmlString);//--- close out xml file ---
fclose($xmlHandle);
?>and make the cron job run in intervals of 15min+. sometimes the php script will get the fail whale so create another cron job that uses the same script but name the xmlfile a diff file name. then in flash use a conditional:
if(xmlFile == "" || xmlFile == " ")
{
(use backup xmlFile)
}$5 thank you :)
