In parts I and II, Andrew showed us how to build a slick-looking Flash frontend for Twitter and Flickr using the beta versions of Flash Catalyst and Flash Builder 4. In this final installment in the series he takes our application a step further by adding video functionality: allowing users to upload videos, and to take screenshots of their videos to post as images.

In his previous article, Andrew created a simple Twitter application using Adobe Flex. In this article he enhances that Flex application by adding the ability to upload photographs to the popular Flickr image hosting service, and then use bit.ly to integrate a shortened link to the photo in a tweet.

In this first part of a three-part series, Andrew shows us how we can write a Twitter app in Flex and PHP.

In the first part of this series, Andrew showed us how easy it is to mock up an application interface in Adobe Illustrator and Flash Catalyst. In part II, we'll add the rest of the code.
