Simple Share

Displaying an action to share text, image data or/and URL is simply a process of calling share() with data you wish to share.

An action dialog will be displayed with a list of applications that will accept the content for sharing. This generally includes applications like: Messaging, Email, Twitter, Facebook.

[Embed("assets/image.png")]
public var TestImage:Class;

Core.init();
if (Share.isSupported)
{
    Share.service.addEventListener( ShareEvent.COMPLETE,    share_shareHandler );
    Share.service.addEventListener( ShareEvent.CANCELLED,   share_shareHandler );
    Share.service.addEventListener( ShareEvent.FAILED,      share_shareHandler );
    Share.service.addEventListener( ShareEvent.CLOSED,      share_shareHandler );
    
    // Here we have embedded an image "assets/image.png" in our application (above)
    var image:Bitmap = new TestImage() as Bitmap;
    
    Share.service.share( "some text", image.bitmapData, "http://airnativeextensions.com" );
}

    trace( event.type + "::" + event.activityType + "::" + event.error );
