Third article in Sitepoint series: Build Flex app that Uploads Video & Twitters

The final part of my "Share Media on Twitter Using Flex" series for Sitepoint has gone live.  This is an interesting one, I show you how to upload video for your tweet to Flickr, pull that video back from Flickr and play it in the Flex app and do "frame grabs" of the video and once more upload those images to Flickr - using bit.ly in the background to shorten the URLs for the video and images and once all that's done post to Twitter (phew, now that's a mouthful).

It's been a good application to build and write about, I hope that there's something in there that Flex developers will find useful.  A shout out to Danny Patterson whose uploadBytes addition to the Flickr ActionScript library was a great help in building this application (Upload ByteArray to Flickr http://blog.dannypatterson.com/?p=250).

Props on the series Andrew. I'm sure it was a lot of work but well worth it.

Cheers! Are you coming to MAX?

Thanks Ryan, I was going to skip MAX this year - been to LA two too many times already, pity as I suspect that it's going to be a good one this year, Avatar and all! Am now going to be on the Adobe stand at Web Directions South Friday 9th instead. We'll have to get Adobe to send you Down Under for WebDU.
