I am working on a more robust flash application for a final project in my AS3 class this semester, but I figured I’d test the waters with one of the many features my project includes – Twitter. I have had a Twitter account for over a year, but only recently got back into it, all thanks to the folks at Aion. Now I’m hooked… thanks guys.

Anyways, thanks to a tutorial found here, Creating a Twitter Widget in Flash, I was able to import Tweets into Flash (never done this type of thing before). I whipped this up in a few hours this afternoon and thought I’d share it with everyone and ask for any feedback. Now granted, this is a very very basic widget, so please keep that in mind. I might expand on this if I get enough people yelling at me.

Features that I will add in final project (and this one):

• pictures (avatars)
• drop down for name selection
• date of post
• make urls linkable

Also, clicking on the Shugo will take you to the currently active Twitter feed owner.

Add the following code to your site or blog:

Merrick on Lumiel Server

Valhalla on Lumiel Server

Unfortunately, I didn’t get my first pick of warrior, since I originally misspelled Valkyrie. By the time I deleted her and remade her, it was gone. *sadface* That’s OK though, I have alternate character names in line to take it’s place come retail launch.

Of course the servers weren’t up at the specified time (I am a web developer, I know these things tend to happen), but that’s OK, because now, I had my day planned out until this moment, but now I don’t know what to do except blog. So here’s my two ladies, take a lookie. They rock.

I plan on leveling Valhalla (warrior) first with the hubby’s healer. Val will probably be a Gladiator (tank), I still have time to decide.

Come the 20th, I will have plenty of beer, caffeine, and munchies so I can get as far as humanly possible during the weekend with minimal interruption, including sleep. Wewt!
