TinyURL code snippet for Javascript / Flash applications
Posted by admin | Filed under Flash Mobile, Mobile Industry
We’ve been very busy this year with over a dozen new branded applications developed for multiple platforms. I wanted to take the chance to share a code snippet from a recent project that will benefit developers that want to shorten URLs at runtime:
var tinyURL:LoadVars = new LoadVars();
tinyURL.onLoad = function(){
var newURL:String = tinyURL.toString();
newURL = newURL.split('=&onLoad=%5Btype%20Function%5D').join('');
newURL = unescape(newURL);
trace('Tiny url response: '+newURL);
};
tinyURL.load('http://tinyurl.com/api-create.php?url=http://flash-widgets.com');
It’s that simple. The same can be done loading via XML.
Take care,
