I've been asked to update a flash file with a link generated from Facebook to a Facebook Fan page. There's some javascript and API code in there but i'm not sure how this should be added to the usual "getURL" code or is there another method I should be using.

Is there anyway I can add a link to a flash file I post on my wall using the rest/graph api, such that when a user clicks on the flash file playing, it takes them to my app?
View 1 RepliesI'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 4 RepliesI'm using the FB API and it's working fine. I can post a photo just fine, and I can post to the users wall with me/feed but I need the post to include a link to another FB page. I learned yesterday that you can't post a link within a wall post - ie the users feed, so I'm trying to post a like, but not having any luck.

Im having a little beginner trouble with an iFrame.
I have a webpage [URL] which works well, I thought It would be possible to copy the source code and paste it into my existing I frame.
its basically javascript with an embedded .fla file which links to an xml page, (to grab the images).
The problem is, nothing whatsoever displays in facebook.

I'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 5 Repliesi need to connect to have a button on my website that connects to facebook (if not already logged in) and posts to the users wall.I've only done this from within an iFrame - do i still need AppId etc etc?
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 = {
method: 'feed',[code].........
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?

This link will take users straight to our website but is also for the purpose of tracking.How do I go about adding the URL? I have searched through these forums but cannot get it to work.I am using Flash CS4 (selected to use AS 3 when I first created the file.)
From what I have read and understood, I should create a new layer, and then add the code to the first frame on that layer?Exactly what code should I use? I tried something as simple as 'getURL("http://www.celonova.com","_self"); ' but that is not working. Is it bcos that is for AS 2 only? My last question is...can I set up the link so that it works for ALL frames?

Right now it is making the space behind the .swf file clickable for the link, but the Flash element is not clickable.
If the right thing to do is to edit the .swf file somehow, I don't consider myself a Flash developer, but are there any resources on where to get started or how to do something this basic with an existing .swf file?

EDIT: I found a solution. I've just put some JavaScript into the code.

I am trying to link my gallery made in flash (and published in html), to link to the rest of my homepage made in html. I have seen several example about how to link from a flash buttom to a new URL, but what I need is to link to a local html file.

second. Where should I place my files: galeria.fla ,galeria.swf ,galeria.html. Should all they stay in the same directory
how to create the portfolio page. What I have is a flash element within an HTML page that displays the current work. The work is loaded from a XML file. I wanted the capability of changing the XML file in order to have the flash element load different pieces of work. I would like to have the links to make this change in HTML, but I'm not sure if this is possible. I'm wondering if I'm just going to have to expand the flash element and have the links to change the XML file within the flash file itself.

I'm working on an entirely flash-based site for a client who has already been using Blogspot for his News/Homepage updates. He wants to continue updating through Blogspot, but wants the blog to automatically fill in the text box on the flash site Homepage. I'm not sure if this is possible, or how I would go about doing it.
Here is the blogspot page: [URL]
Here is an example of what the scrolling SWF text box will be like: [URL]
I think there are probably three options:
Load the link in as a flashvar and allow the Flash to open the URI
Load the link into the Flash file using AJAX/AJAH and allow the Flash open the URI
Just have the Flash file call a Javascript function that opens the URI
Is one of these methods better than the other(s)?
I'm working in a CMS, so each method requires a different process to edit/control the link. In #1, the editor needs to open the Flash node and add the path to a flashvar. In #2, the editor just needs to add the path as an anchor with a specific ID to a page (or XML). In #3, the paths could be stored in many different ways. The links aren't known when the Flash files are created, so they can't be embedded in the Flash. Is there a performance/efficiency/compatibility/good reason to use #1 over #2 or #3, etc?
