Re: [twitter-dev] Better understanding of 'signature'

[ryan alford]

That is one of your problems. The signature needs to be created for each
request.

Here is how I do it in C#.  I know it's not the language you are using, but
hopefully it will help on how to create the signature.  Then you can use
similar libraries in Flash(if there are similar libraries) to make your
signature.

The signature should be generated for every single request to the Twitter
API. It is based on your request URL and parameters.

You can read a detailed explanation here
