Twiter logo circle thing ported to Flash

I have finally ported my twitter feed rotating logo thing into flash. So far it has been made in Processing, php GD generated GIF and flash and attempted in inconsistent HTML-CSS-JS. I have not yet decided what format to try to port to next, HTML5 canvas looks like a dead end for now based on what I have managed to find out and processing.js has some way to go till it supports all the necessary functions.

I have chosen to port this to various formats as practice of different languages without having to redo the core logic of the code that is to import the string, divide the string into each letter, measure the width of each for correct kerning, calculate the position and rotation around the circle, draw the character. This allows me to focus on the differences between the languages themselves.

I may release the source for some of these at some point in the future.
