Please suggest. hi chris

urlVars.username = TWITTER_USERNAME;
urlVars.password = TWITTER_PASSWORD;

urlVars.media = byteArray; // this is a binnaty array of an movieClip

I personally prefer absolute URLs so the SWF can be moved around on the site without breaking the API calls. Relative URLs work for smaller sites that you are confident won't be changed around much. Just to clarify, if you would like to use this example in Flex on the web you will want to communicate like this: Flex web app - PHP on your server - TwitPic API. You can not currently connect directly to the TwitPic API from a Flex web app because they do not have a policy file. If your running this through Adobe AIR (like in the example above) you can ignore this comment. Cheers.

you shoud use relative URLs. put your file.php in the root folder of your site (that’s to say, in yourdomain/file.php) and use in flex this url: /file.php

You may have to route the call through a PHP script located on your server. By passing the file through PHP you can avoid the cross domain issue. If I have some extra time this week I may be able to throw together a sample PHP file that would do this. It doesn’t look like Twitpic has a crossdomain.xml file.
