I have no control over the dataProvider at all. Performance is not an issue, because the data extraction only happens once, and it can be time-sliced it so the webapp does not appear to freeze. Passing through multiple event handlers, including EnterFrame would be perfectly acceptable. 3)

[flexcoders] Twitter Feed Within An Air/Flex Application

I've previously made an air application for my university course and my tutor has suggested that I incorporate more live data into it. One of the ways he suggested was to include a twitter feed. I have no experience of using feeds within flex but I think I've managed to get one in. How it

Hi James, If your application automatically displays new tweets, those created after the initial load, than yes; that would be considered live. If however its just taking a snapshot, then no. A starting point would be to refresh the tweets. Having the ability to post tweets, and see them

But is it possible within flex to have a feed that acts live such as this i.e. it is constantly changing? I thought within flex you could only load data upon some sort of event such as the click of a button? The user can refresh their tweets simply by clicking the load tweets button again but

Polling the twitter service every 60 seconds (refresh) would be a way that you could get updates semi-automatically. You're not using RTMP, so you're never going to be really live. HTTPService calls are asynchronous, so there isn't much overhead just listening to a Timer(). For extending the

Except the memory implications of rendering every row must be considered. And I still haven’t figured out what you’d do for renderers that don’t display any text. And I’m pretty sure I could write a renderer that you could never figure out which children have text. But given all that, then

Because this is an library for exporting to other formats I only need to instantiate one renderer at a time. Memory requirements should therefore be modest. I have implemented a mechanism to export the display lists of non-text item renderers. The tricky part is learning how to instantiate
