how to work with twitter if the xml feed is deprecated?

[yvillicana]

Hi,

I figured out how to get the feed from here:http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/us...=myusername-by altering the code from http://www.republicofcode.com/tutori...r_widget/2.php to this:

function processXML(e:Event):void {
	var myXML:XML=new XML(e.target.data);
	trace(myXML.channel.item[0].title);
	if (oldTweet!=(myXML.channel.item[0].title)) {

		containerTweets.ctext.tweet_1.text=myXML.channel.item[0].title;
		oldTweet=myXML.channel.item[0].title;
		trace(oldTweet,"oldTweet");
		tweet();
	}

However, it only works locally--There is a commented out line in the original code:

myXMLLoader.load(new URLRequest("proxy.php"));

which I removed the commenting from and commented out the following line:

//myXMLLoader.load(new URLRequest("http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=myusername"));

but, the proxy.php file which looks like this:
<?php
echo file_get_contents("http://api.twitter.com/1/statuses/user_timeline.rss?screen_name=myusername");
?>
isnt returning the XML---I have a crossdomain.xml file too, which looks like this:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="windows-1252"?>
<!DOCTYPE cross-domain-policy SYSTEM "http://www.macromedia.com/xml/dtds/cross-domain-policy.dtd">
<cross-domain-policy>
<allow-access-from domain="mysite.com" />
<allow-access-from domain="www.twitter.com" />
<allow-access-from domain="twitter.com" />
</cross-domain-policy>
but that doesnt help.

any suggestions?

Thanks,
