Flash :: Facebook :: Facebook Pages And Content - Autoplay?
Dec 6, 2011
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'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 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 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 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 have dynamic flash content embedded into a Facebook fanpage. The flash file consists of an interactive environment where the mouse icon is substituted with a "flashlight" (i.e.spot of light), and the user "looks" around the dark room, lighting up the different areas with the light. When the light passes over certain areas (invisible buttons), specific "effects" are triggered and an animation ensues, along with an accompanying sound effect.It works great on the original webpage! But the Facebook page has some issues:1) The embedded flash file loads relatively slowly. I can deal with this, but the next issue is what is frustrating;
2) Everything works initially. The "flashlight" works. The background audio works. When the effects are triggered, the accompanying SOUND EFFECT works, but not the animation. After this, none of the effects will trigger. If I refresh the page, and let it load again, then everything will work.This is very frustrating, I can provide a link, if need be (I've had a somewhat similar problem on a website I designed with certain things loading a times, but not at others.

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.

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';

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:

I've come up with a flash game and wish to deploy it on facebook. Problem is, I am not sure where to start!
I've done some research and found out something about needing an external server to host my flash application but I'm still pretty much lost.
So can anyone tell me what are the basic steps to deploying my flash application to facebook?

I need to authorise my Flash game (which runs on Facebook) users against my game server. I'm able to get their data like id, access token, etc, from Facebook on the client (I'm using the Flash Facebook API) but I'm not sure how to authorize them on my game server (e.g. do a login with a database query). One scenario that I have on my mind:
If I could get the same access token from Facebook on both the client (which I already do) and the server (with, for example, a redirect URL, which I tried but does not seems to work), then I could easily compare the two tokens (together with the user IDs) and thus authorize the user. UPDATE To put it simpler, I want to catch the token that is returned from Facebook on the server-side before it gets to the client (it can be a simple PHP script that parses the URL token parameter). Next, store it in the DB on the server, and when the client queries the server, I can do the comparison.

I have a flash file which calls up a url say [URL] which is caught and used up by a python/django code and it creates and redirects to an XML. which is loaded by flash, to get values from the database.
The setup works fine when outside facebook, but as soon as I put the setup in facebook, it stops loading the XML completely.

I need to embed a flash application(that will access FB API from within) in Facebook Canvas page.If I use , some FB related details(like session key) will be automatically passed to the flash. But since, FBML is going to be deprecated, I want to use iFrame. Is there any way to pass those variable automatically or do I have to retrieve them in PHP and pass it to flash through loadvars?Also, if I have to do it manually, is there any documentation for the php sdk 2.1 ? (already searched about it a lot, and I think there is no doc nor tutorial for 2.1)

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.
