Flash :: Facebook Connect And Actionscript - Make All Of The Facebook API Calls Via JavaScript
Jun 1, 2009
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.

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?

I'm playing a flash game on facebook. I know I can decompile it to find out all the commands and would like to make scripts to automate the game by calling procedures in the actionscript of the game. So I guess I would like to make a plugin also that would insert this console into any flash app and this would be handy for a lot of things. Then if anyone wants to hack a new game, u just decompile it and make a handbook of methods for people to make scripts with. So how would I go about making this console? I don't know if I could make a swf interact with the game or if it has to be compiled into the game's swf. Or if it is easier with javascript, that is cool too. maybe we can make a javascript library just for this. anyone can tell me more?

I want to click a button in my flash application, log in to facebook, leave a comment on wall and sign out. I try to figure it out but it seems complicated. Does anyone have an example or any sample code for this easy functionality?

I've been using Facebook connect in a few of my newer sites, and since it took me awhile to figure out a good method for it I figured I would post my code incase anyone needs it. I'm not a coding genius or anything, but I figured it would get someone on the right path if they had questions. I put it together really quickly, and I didn't clean up the code, but all the parts needed to make this work are clear.URL...Here is a very simple demo app I made with Flash and Facebook Connect. Check it out. You can download the source here.URL...Just make sure you use your Facebook api key and path to xdreceiver file!

Facebook Connect uses JS/CSS overlays/popups for user interaction. I have sites with Flash elements, and no matter how I set the z-indices, the Flash always seems to go to the topI have a similar and likely related problem with a div with display:fixed at the top of the screen, where it gets covered by the Flash when you start scrolling.

I'm integrating a Flash-free web site with Facebook Connect.Loading it in Internet Explorer 7 (only in IE 7, not IE 6 nor IE 8) I get the famous IE information bar saying that the current web site requires the Adobe Flash Player and asks me if I want to install it.
If I remove the code needed to the Facebook Connect integration (some facebook-hosted javascript files), IE does not ask me to install Flash anymore.As I've already said my web site does not require Flash at all and with IE 6, IE 8, Firefox or any other browser I'm not asked to install the Adobe Flash Player.Is this normal? Does Facebook Connect require Flash? Does it need Flash only with IE7?

We are writing a new social app that connects to FB using FB connect (actually, it's in Flash so we're using the FB AS3 SDK, which uses the FB Javascript API under the hood AFAIK).
When the flash app is served from our site - it works fine.But when we try to embed it in a 3rd party site (using an Iframe that points to our site) the following happens: when we try to perform a login to FB using the AS3 function Facebook.login(onLogin, opts), a small browser-based login to FB pop-up comes up, but it has the following error first
Or is it possible that FB don't support FB connect apps that are embedded in 3rd party sites?

I 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?

Anyone know if you can connect, login, post an image to a Facebook account directly from inside of Flash? I grabbed the Facebook API for AS3 and have it installed, created an application definition on Facebook but am having no look connecting to it? I have seen some refereneces to it only working inside of Flex and am wondering it that's the case. I am looking to do a kiosk application where a camera image will be uploaded directly to the persons FB page.

So if anyone of you can get me started would be great, not many examples for this on the net. I want to to log in to facebook, get the friends list with pictures and send invitations.

Has anyone successfully included the facebook fanbox in a flash website? I just do basic stuff on the side and I have created a flash website for my buddys company. He wants to incorporate the facebook fanbox into one of the pages. Facebook has a code generator that outputs something like this:
<script src="http://static.ak.connect.facebook.com/js/api_lib/v0.4/FeatureLoader.js.php/en_US" type="text/javascript"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">FB.init("API_KEY", "");</script>
<fb:fan profile_id="YOUR_PAGE_ID" stream="1" connections="10" width="300"></fb:fan>
<div style="font-size:8px; padding-left:10px"><a href="VANITY_URL">PAGE_NAME</a> on Facebook</div>
Is there a way to incorporate this into flash? The other option they have is iFrames. I have never heard of this, but it looks like this:

My index.php file loads the Facebook JavaScript SDK and the FBJS bridge:[code]When I run this file on my server, I can communicate with Facebooks JavaScript SDK either indirectly through ExternalInterface calls, launching various Facebook UI dialogs etc. And I can also use the facebook-actionscript-api to launch the same dialogs directly from ActionScript.When I however use this index file as my Facebook canvas url and load the swf in a Facebook iFrame, the communication crashes the application. I'm not sure how to debug this but I think it might have to do with crossdomain security. Any ideas on debugging and/or solutions are welcome.

I've got a strange bug when trying to use facebook connect with actionscript3. I checked everything, couldn't find a way to resolve this. Look at this [URL] When clicking on "login", the facebook popup appears. But within this swf (click on the "facebook" logo), [URL] It does not work. This is almost the same actionscript code; and it IS the same HTML. You can check some debug informations with the firebug console. Seems the javascript & HTML code is OK. When clicking the Facebook logo, the HTML is updated. Guess facebook IS contacted; but then no popup is shown.

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 made a websites which needs the user to login to Facebook. It uses the facebook API to check if the user is logged or not; and the API opens a popup if he is not logged.
[Code]...
Facebook.login(FBfinishedLogin, {perms:"publish_stream,user_location"}); The problem is that with some of the browsers (eg. Safari); the popup is blocked. It is the API and not my code which launches the popup so I have no control on it.

I have a SWF file that calls some javascript which shows the facebook login dialog via the javascript sdk.this all works fine, except for that fact that pop-up blockers block the login dialog, as it isnt invoked from a user action, but from flash.

I 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.

I've been messing around a bit with a Facebook application for a while now, which is using FBML. A need has arisen to integrate graphs to display data. From what I can tell my options would be one of the following:
Find a Flash Graph that doesn't require a JavaScript library to work Convert the application to an IFrame application, and hope that Facebook wont break the Graph JavaScript Generate the graph serverside with GD or ImageMagick I would preferably not go with option 3, due to how boring generated graphs look, and serverside load.
Does anyone have any opinions or suggestions on how I would best solve this?

After I upload a photo on a desktop facebook application i need to store it's post id in a database. From the facebook ActionScript SDK documentation:pi() methodpublic static function api(method:String, callback:Function, params:* = null, requestMethod:String = GET):voidMakes a new request on the Facebook Graph API.Parameters [...]callback:Function — Method that will be called when this request is complete The handler must have the signature of callback(result:Object, fail:Object); On success, result will be the object data returned from Facebook. On fail, result will be null and fail will contain information about the error.
So I implemented my callback function as follows:
protected function handleUploadComplete(response:Object, fail:Object):void{
status = (response) ? 'Success' : 'Error';
