Introduction

ActionScript3 Dropbox API, currently only support AIR platform because the crossdomain issue will happen in web flash.

Dropbox API use OAuth to authorize and JSON as result. So another two libraries is necessary: Crypto.swc and as3corelib.swc. Both two files can be found either in source code or google code projects.

Why only AIR? Because there are no crossdomain.xml file in dropbox API site so all POST requests are inaccessible because of security policy of Flash Player.
