@gskinner started off a little contest where the object is to create an interesting SWF in 140 characters or less of AS3 code.
I went ahead and wrote a server side script that scans the tweets submitted to this contest and compiles the entries then makes them available here: http://tweetcoding.machine501.com/
There are already some interesting pieces submitted and Adobe has pitched in with a copy of Flash CS4 as a prize.
Check out the #tweetcoding rules
This was done easily with the Flex 3 SDK and some python scripts. Many thanks to
BeautifulSoup for HTML entity parsing
Python Twitter Tools for a great, minimalist Twitter API that works on Python 2.3
And, of course, Twitter.
Oh, and the Flex SDK team

Great work!
It looks as though your compiler doesn’t like the ‘Matrix’ in my submission though. Its missing an import that gets inserted automatically in flash.
I’ve updated it
