Adobe Air and Dropbox - actionscript-3

Question

I'm trying to integrate dropbox into my BB Playbook app using adobe air in flashbuilder 4.6. I got the API from http://code.google.com/p/dropbox-as3/wiki/EXAMPLES and I'm also using that example.
public function getRequestToken():void
{
dropAPI.requestToken();
var handler:Function = function (evt:DropboxEvent):void
{
dropAPI.removeEventListener(DropboxEvent.REQUEST_TOKEN_RESULT, handler);
var obj:Object = evt.resultObject;
reqTokenKeyLabel.text = obj.key;
reqTokenSecretLabel.text = obj.secret;
// goto authorization web page to authorize, after that, call get access token
if (oauthRadioBtn.selected) {
Alert.show(dropAPI.authorizationUrl);
}
};
dropAPI.addEventListener(DropboxEvent.REQUEST_TOKEN_RESULT, handler);
if (!dropAPI.hasEventListener(DropboxEvent.REQUEST_TOKEN_FAULT)) {
dropAPI.addEventListener(DropboxEvent.REQUEST_TOKEN_FAULT, faultHandler);
}
}
This executes as expected but I don't know how to go further, I tried sending the user to the link generated and I allow the application but the get access token still fails. I feel like there is missing code, how does my application know what the access token is? should I not be getting something back from dropbox when the user allows the application?

Once the user has accepted the app in the web browser you should call this function in order to get the access token and secret:
public function getAccessToken():void{
dropAPI.accessToken();
var handler:Function = function (evt:DropboxEvent):void{
dropAPI.removeEventListener(DropboxEvent.ACCESS_TOKEN_RESULT, handler);
var obj:Object = evt.resultObject;
myAccessToken = obj.key;
myAccessSecret = obj.secret;
};
dropAPI.addEventListener(DropboxEvent.ACCESS_TOKEN_RESULT, handler);
if (!dropAPI.hasEventListener(DropboxEvent.ACCESS_TOKEN_FAULT)) {
dropAPI.addEventListener(DropboxEvent.ACCESS_TOKEN_FAULT, faultHandler);
}
}
Once you have them you can save them for future use. After that you have establish connection with Dropbox.
I hope this will help you
