Usage Details

First: download PicasaFlex API library from http://code.google.com/p/picasa-flex-api/ , unzip and drop it into your project lib folder.

Second: Configure your gallery and album in init() function

gService.userName = username;
gService.proxied = true;
gService.projection = GDataService.GDATA_PROJECTION_API;
gService.getPhotosByAlbum("Your Album name",0,16);
gService.addEventListener(GDataEvent.GET_ALBUM,handleAlbum);
gService.addEventListener(GDataEvent.GET_PHOTO,handlePhoto);

where gService.userName is your gallery user name, and where "Your Album name" is the string name of your album.

Third: Build and deploy! That is it! Very simple :)

Hi, I have been trying embedding picasa api with flex web application. My issues is that i need to load and look at all the albums of the particular user. Uptil now i have authenticated user through the use of google Authsub. Also got the token. But now m not able to use the service to call the users list of album. I don know actually how to send request picasa web regarding the album of the user. Any kind of help in this subject would be appriecieted. Thanks
