I spent an afternoon trying to get my hands on a decent twitter API wrapper for as3. I tried the swx twitter api which is a great idea (bit concerned at how he will maintain and scale this solution) except I ran into a 40kb AMF error for large api returns for which I couldn’t find a solution. I then moved over to the Tweetr API. This has a nice api with some useful demos to help get started, but I found it’s downfall is the proxy which has too many dependencies ( .htaccess / ModRewrite, curl and php5+) for my server.

I then found Twitterscript. The lack of documentation was a bit off-putting, however with a bit of googling I found a simple demo to get me rolling, and more importantly a simple workaround to the proxy issue.

Hope this helps - if anyone is out there.
