i have something like a flv player in my flash site and i load different flvs depending on user interaction. I want to add a "share on facebook" functionality so the videos will be shared on fb in a way similar to youtube sharing. I've serached a lot but there seems to be a lack of documentation on this subject.

how to open the Facebook Share page above my flash content inside of a div.
Here is the JS I would use to open it in a new window:
function facebook_share() {
u="http://thepageiwanttoshare.com";
t="pagetitle";
[Code].....
I then call this JS code from flash with ExternalInterface.
This code will basically open the facebook share page in a new window 626x436 with no toolbar etc.
This works perfectly, but I want to take this functionality and instead load that content into a specific div, which I guess I can then place above my Flash (using the z-index of the div and the wmode transparent param on the flash embed statement).
This doesn't seem like it would be too difficult, but I have never done something quite like this before. I heard that Adobe AIR actually has a Window class that can be used like an html window within flash, but unfortunately I am using AS3/Flex SDK.
Anyone have experience with this? I'm not much of a javascript person. This would be the code you could use on an html page.
I fugure you somehow have to have flash read the js file from fbook and then pass the share_url variable to it?

View 2 Replieswe all know its possible to make a share button for face book which allows users to share whatever item. but when we are directed to that page the user has two options. press the "cancel" button which of course closes the window, or to press the "share" button which then adds the item to the persons wall.
what i'm trying to do is determine if that share button has been pressed. see because when they press it i want my swf to trace out a message saying "thanks for sharing my item" and while i can redirect them to the page i have no way of knowing if they shared it or not. my idea was to use an enter_frame event and try and see if any data was being sent via php. because thats what the button would be doing when pressed. but i haven't had any luck making that work. here is the code so far. its a tutorial as the focus is at my problem:

I'm trying to duplicate the behaviour of the "Share on Facebook" button from Youtube. Basically, inside a Flex app I'll have a button and when I click it I want a popup that enables me to post something on the wall. While it is possible to make a call to javascript to open the pop-up I want to be able to set the images and the text of my posting. How I could set the images or text as a parameter to the sharer window?

I'm currently building an application using the Adobe Facebook API and I've run into an issue where for the login method the Facebook login popup displays but when doing a Facebook share/post the popup is blocked.
This code works fine and displays me a Facebook login popup without question (Firefox):
var permissions:Array = ['publish_stream'];
Facebook.login( onFacebookLogin, { perms:permissions.join(',') } );
However, the following code running in the same application throws up a popup blocker (again Firefox):
Facebook.ui( "stream.publish", "popup", params );
Does anyone know of a work around this issue to make the share popup come up just like the login popup?

View 1 RepliesI'm trying to determine the practical difference between using the com.facebook.session.WebSession and com.facebook.session.JSSession. The documentation ([URL]) has more around WebSession - but the example I have which is closest to what solution I'm trying to implement uses JSSession and it looks like I could avoid all of the JavaScript pass-through & ExternalInterface calls I'm making. It appears that the benefit of using this new ActionScript Facebook API is to avoid having to make all of the Facebook calls via JavaScript.

View 1 RepliesI have a facebook application where the user choose 4 of his friends and then it creates a video (swf) with the pictures of your friends in it (loaded via xml). So I need to share this video on the user timeline. Everything works fine but the video is not embedded in the post on his timeline, there is only a post with the link to the page in it.The weird thing is, if I post the url directly on my timeline, the video is embedded, but not if the same link is posted via the application.here is my code called by the share button in js :
function postToFeed() {
var obj = {

I've recently used the 'Static HTML' application to add autoplaying flash content to a Facebook Page.Nothing too fancy, no sound, and only a few secs long. Now, Facebook say:-"Apps on Pages must not host media that plays automatically without a user's interaction."
What do they mean by 'Media' exactly? I can understand a ban on autoplaying audio content but does the ban extend to something as harmless as an animated GIF? Or more to the point, does an autoplaying .swf file fall under this?
Lastly, what course of action would Facebook take if I did violate this rule? Would they issue a warning (giving me an opportunity to remove the 'offending' item) or would they just shut down my page without any consultation?
I have literally spent HOURS trying to solve this mystery... but simply can't seem to get hold of it.
I am using the same code lines (literally!) as the example here (official adobe tutorial) and I get different result.
[Code]...
Everything works fine, i.e. everything till it is time to fire the loggedin event. I get asked to log in and all permissions are asked correctly. After I log myself in to facebook, the loggedin event doesn't fire. Is there any way of solving this problem??
I am using a Flex widget for my facebook application. How can I get the current user's facebook ID?
View 1 RepliesI can't find in the Adobe Facebook API how to log the user out of Facebook. The FacebookSessionUtil (and the related sessions and Facebook classes) all have a .logout() function, which will invalidate the user's current *session* within the swf, but it doesn't log the user out of Facebook.
What am I missing here? How are you supposed to log the user out of Facebook with this API? Since it's part of the TOS for Facebook Connect apps, you'd think this would be available in the API somewhere.
creating an AS3 Facebook share button? I need to be able to customize the title, description and picture.
View 3 RepliesI have an AS2 swf that has an array that is updated when a user clicks on items on the screen. The array stores the currently selected items. This As2 swf is hosted by an AS3 swf loaded in using Loader class and a local connection between them is managed by swfBridge. I want to know what the best way for both AS3 and AS2 swfs to share this array is? or how can I call a function in the AS2 (client) swf and return the array to the AS3 (host) swf when it needs to read the items from the array?
View 1 Repliesalright.. recently i needed to share data between different flash .swfs on a homepage.. so i tried to use Shared Objects to do so. sofar its fine.. i tried it .. and as long as the data is stored on my harddisk. the sharedObject "cookies" work fine.. but when i put the site online.. they simply dont work anymore..
could this have something to do with security settings of the browser used?.. doesnt a web browser allow flash to access the harddisk to read and write shared objects.. is there another.. simpler and more reliable way to send data from one .swf file to another..?? (without using php -> my webserver doesnt support this sofar )
I'm using CS3+AS3 and I have a Flash project with a menu, the items in the menu can expand to reveal more items and this is currently done by having each state of the menu in a separate frame, and then doing "gotoAndStop" in this movieclip when buttons are pressed.Perhaps not the best solution, but works very well for this purpose, but as you can imagine, this means that the "same buttons" in "different frames" will do the same thing.All frames were constructed by duplicating the first frame, then moving the buttons around and adding more buttons where needed. So now I set instance names to the buttons in frame #1 and added event-listeners. But when I tested the project, the buttons that had event-listeners in frame #1 also had them in all the other frames. Now this could be an awesome feature, but right now it's more of a huge mystery to me.
ance names in frame #2, but yet they share the same instance. I searched all over the IDE but I could not find any functionality to actually determine what instances are linked, how to link instances or unlink instances. But I do know that two objects share instances when you duplicate them.So my question is, is there no functionality in the Flash IDE to actually make more efficient use of this?
Flex Mobile applications are view based. And I'm using Adobe Cirrus (im assuming its the same for any FMS netConnection) Does anyone know how to maintain a persistent netConnection between views in a flex Mobile Application?[code]I want to be able to trace(netConnection.nearID) on this view, go to another view and trace(netConnection.nearID) and get the same result. and be able to have a cirrusStatusHandler() function like I have a above to listen for cirrus events. Then be able to do netConnection.close() on another view if i wanted to to be able to close the connection.
Brainstorming Ideas what I was thinking I could do:I was thinking I could maybe set up the connection on the main ViewNavigatorApplication mxml file, but i have so much going on and being triggered based on netConnection status events it seems it might be really complicated to handle everything from that mxml file on each of the views. Maybe I could declare the netCon vars in the ViewNavigatorApplication mxml file, and just add event listeners to those vars on each view? But i'm not familiar with accessing vars that exist in the mainViewNavigatorApplication mxml file.I just need to be able to make the connection once, and then it stays persistent until I call netConnection.close()I guess I could use separate views where I dont need the netConnection and just have this particular view use "states" inside the view where the netCon needs to be persistent. It just seems silly be be using states since this is a view based application.[code]and the same in my Home View but i'm getting a null error when i try and call trace(netConnection.nearID) in the crationComplete function on profileView (which is after homeView) to see if it still has the same netConnection and should then be able to get the same nearID
How can I make a Flash Application that can be shared? Shared in the sense of like a paint box. If someone is painting there then the painting must be shown to all users. This means each user can write and edit in the paint box at the same time..
View 1 RepliesSo i have a situation where i want to pass a object of a class say 'MyBigAwesomeClass' from a child to a parent. I import the class definition into both the parent and child. Now, if i load the child swf from a location that is relative to the location of the parent , all is fine, however the moment i load it using a full absolute path, it treats the definitions for 'BigAwesomeClass' in parent and in child as different and does not allow an object of the type 'BigAwesomeClass' to be assigned to an object of the same in the parent class.I am totally stumped, and have banged my head over ApplicationDomains, including using this code
loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE,swfLoaded);
var context:LoaderContext = new LoaderContext(false, ApplicationDomain.currentDomain);
loader.load(new URLRequest(_file.url),context);
