If so thanks. so it’s safe to say that the Digg API is pure AS3 now and not dependent on any one Framework?

I've removed the StringUtil reference, so it should work fine now. Whoops, sorry about that! I’ve removed the StringUtil reference, so it should work fine now.

The only way I can compile without errors is to include the Flex2 SDK. Though it would be nice if that wasn't the case. Shawn, without the Flex2 SDK in the classpath, I get the following error:

Everything in there is pure AS3—no Flex components or otherwise Flex-specific code. Just include <a href="http://diggflashdevkit.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/flex/source/" rel="nofollow">flex/source/</a> in your source path, and you're good to go. That said, the lack of documentation is a pretty serious problem. Sorry about that. Hi Paul,

I wonder if there are any other benefits to using the API over the RSS feeds?

All the api's that I have seen that are flex only could be used in flash if the as3 did not use flex only classes to do rare and abstract things that could be done other ways. After all the digg's api should only be handling data so why flex only? I just said to hell with there API and use their RSS to do the same thing.

Even though its using up my CPU I can still have multiple tabs open along with Flash, so I don't think normal users will have any problems, that site is fantastic who built it, I'm guessing March of Dimes didn't build it them self.

But you are probably right about not using bitmap caching on video.
