All right. I know this is not Flex. But I did mention I get sidetracked. And since I couldn't easily find this in a search...I thought it may be useful to people. What I did find was some code for adding Twitter to TypePad off the Twitter site. Figured I'd modify it a bit and create an MT widget and see if it works. It does. So here you go!
<div class="widget-twitter widget">
<h3 class="widget-header">Twitter Updates</h3>
<ul class="widget-list" id="twitter_update_list"></ul>
<a href="http://twitter.com/userid" id="twitter-link" style="display:block;text-align:right;">Follow me on Twitter</a>
</div>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://twitter.com/javascripts/typepad.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://twitter.com/statuses/user_timeline/userid.json?callback=twitterCallback2&count=5"></script>
Sarah - thanks for this! Yours is the first solution I've found for MT I could make work. Much appreciated!
You rule. Thanks!
Awesome, thanks for posting the one thing that has been a nightmare to figure out.
Hey, thanks for the widget - but one more question: Any clue how to tweak the code to make it a Widget for a Twitter-Search result?
Not sure. Wasn't something I looked in to at the time.
Great solution! Is there any way to repeat this code for a second twitter feed on the same template? tried just duplicating it but tere is evidently some conflict.
