Using APIs with Edge (JQuery and JSON)

Question

Hi I am very new to APIs but I have a pretty basic understanding and I want to figure out how I could use them in Edge. I following the following tutorial and have tried to modify it for my liking: http://www.gotoandlearn.com/play.php?id=168
Essentially, I am trying to pull in the most recent Flickr phots on Flickr.com. Check out my files in the Zip below and the URL I have been testing on:

Thanks for your help!

Hi Adam,
So, i downloaded your project files and i tested with another flickr address.
My test comes from: http://api.jquery.com/jQuery.getJSON/
Using your "slide" symbol, the code tested was:
$.getJSON("http://api.flickr.com/services/feeds/photos_public.gne?jsoncallback=?",
             tags: "mount rainier",
             tagmode: "any",
             format: "json"
           function(data) {
             $.each(data.items, function(i,item){
                            var s = sym.createChildSymbol("slide", "Stage");
                             s.$("photo").css({"background-image": "url('"+item.media.m+"')"});
                             s.$("title").html(item.title);
               if ( i == 10 ) return false;
Your slide symbol works fine.
Therefore, your flickr address is not correct.
If you copy and paste your flickr address within your address bar (Safari), Flickr returns: jsonFlickrApi({"stat":"fail", "code":98, "message":"Invalid auth token"})
