How can I add in my facebook application invite friends. First of all I use actionscript, in order to handle invite issue I searched so many sites but I've got nothing, cuz facebook doesn't support invite actions. then I learnt that javascprit can handle this, however I couldn't find anything valuable about that
View 1 Repliesi want to make a facebook flash app. Now im trying to make it possible to invite your friends to the app. I want to do this from within actionscript without the user having to leave the app.
The ideal solution would be to make a custom interface show possible invites and then doing some URL request containing the friends id's
how to get the user status, but the app I currently working on need to get user's friends statuses. Can I do this without needing user's friends to approve the app? I still can't find how to to this in the graph API.
View 1 RepliesUsing Facebook.ui on the Facebook Api you can post a message to a friends wall.
var data:Object = new Object();
data.title = "title";
data.message = "message";
data.filters = [];
data.to = "friends_id"
Facebook.ui("feed", data, postOnFriendsWallCallback, "popup");
Is it possible to get a friendslist in that dialog, like you get when making a apprequest?
Facebook.ui("apprequests", data, postOnFriendsWallCallback, "popup");
Or is there another way to have the user choose one or more of his friends and posting a message on their wall using fb dialogs?
i am trying to write a facebook app using as3 and the facebook-actionscipt graph api library i am having trouble getting a user's friends list, while i have no problem getting a user's other data (favorite movies, for example)
[code]...
ok after doing some more searching i find that getting friends-of-friends with any api is impossible this is very interesting - you can access friends-of-friends manually as a facebook user, but not automaticallythis means it is not a privacy issue at all - it is something Facebook wants to keep for itself only - for the "People You May Know" section in the facebook page
I'm absolutely new to programming and just managed to learn the basics of ActionScript 3. Now, I would like to learn how to post on my Friends' Walls via the as3 SDK using the UI class (taken from a nice Tutorial):

In an application I have created (web) I need to list out my facebook friends within a canvas (or any container) along with their profile pictures.
I am using Flash Builder 4.5. I have also managed to set up AIR app (using the samples) so I am not sure if I am on the right track.
The requirement is :
When each user logs into the site his/her friends list should appear in the frame along with the friend's profile pictures.
I'm writing an Adobe AIR app using plain HTML which needs to upload photos to Facebook. I don't think Facebook's JavaScript/Connect library includes photo uploading functionality, but their ActionScript library does. However, I'm having trouble loading the ActionScript library into the HTML page.
Adobe's documentation describes the process of loading ActionScript libraries into HTML AIR apps, which I tried using the compiled Flash library available here (specifically, Facebook_library_with_AIRConnect_v3.4_flash.swc). So my page looks something like:
<html>
<head>
<title>Hello World</title>
[code]....
Is the compiled library file I used the wrong one (do I need a .swf instead of a .swc)?If so, do I need to create my own compiled library somehow from the ActionScript source?Is the namespace I'm using incorrect? (in addition to com.facebook.Facebook() I tried .Facebook(), .fb.Facebook(), .facebook.Facebook(), etc)Should I just give up and try to learn Flex instead?
I may be mistaken, but it appears that Facebook only supports friend-selector dialogs within a request/invite form. I take that to mean that since our app is just allowing the user to arrange a subset of friends for display within the app (no message to the friend), we must use something that isn't available from Facebook. It would be nice to know if I'm wrong, but important to have some clear pointers on how to get a friend ID back from the dialog without an invite or request getting sent to the friend.
I've searched for solutions and the closest I've come is a description of something that implements what I want offered for license by Mike Knoop. I've tried making contact, but still don't know whether the code (or license terms) will work. It would be really nice to have a solution that was more open, but any pointers to widgets/libraries that include this capability
i use FBML for the FB application.I have a flash and the flash suppose to call a javascript on the page. I read so many websites trying to figure it out but still having problem.Here is the Webpage with the javascript:
<fb:fbjs_bridge/>
<div id="swfContainer"></div>
<script>[code]....
when i test, the flash loaded. The code goes through everything and show "SENT" in the flash text box. However, it doesn't seem like it is calling the javascript and change the text in the HTML page.is there something wrong I did? i try the ExternalInteface.call method but doesn't work neither. ALSO, when i run it in FireFox, not error popup.however, when i run it in IE, I got this:
VerifyError: Error #1033: Cpool entry 36 is wrong type.
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable FBJS is not defined.
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'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?
I'm triyng to use the Facebook AS3 API but it's actually inconsistent. Frustrating.I'm thinking to use the Javascript SDK, from an Flash/AS3 based app, using the ExternalInterface object, and the addCallback method...
View 1 RepliesHas 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:
[Code]....
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.

How do I add a widget to Facebook wall? So when a user clicks on wall post, it gets opened there only, like YouTube video/audio.
It's certainly possible, as Slideshare app [URL] does it.
And, I see that it's a Flash component. I have an iframe (Javascript/html) widget.
Is posible to build a site like youtube, that when is shared in facebook users can run the app (in this case the video player) in the user wall without enter to the youtube page. if is posible, this is only for videos?... can i get an interactive app, like a game do the same. this can be only achieved using flash? or there is any way to do it using HTML5?
View 1 RepliesI need to execute some javascript string code from flash swf file using actionscript 3.
I read that it could be done by passing the javascript code to the parent html document , using externalinterface.call function. Then I assume it will be faster if I can declare functions in the javascript code in the HTML document in the first use of externalinterface.call funtion ; if flash code calls the javascript code repeatedly. So let me ask you how to do that. For details , any javascript to be loaded is unknown in design time and I can not prepare a javascript file to be loaded.
I'm having a hard time understanding the logic here.... What is the difference between the facebook session returned from the javascript api as opposed to the one retrieved from AS3 Facebook api when your application is in facebook. I ask this because When I login via invoked via pure javascript or already logged in the permissions are sent to me as well however AS3's FacebookSession.availablePermissions continues to be an empty array Login invoked via flash will however return the availablePermissions Whats the difference in login invocations?
View 5 RepliesWe've just developed a small Facebook puzzle that people win some gifts from our customer. I'd like to ask a few questions since I'm pretty stuck despite tried lots of things. First I'd like to write what we have and then will explain our problems.oot of application (/) checks for signed_request in POST params, extracts information from it to see if we've registered the logged in user into our database. This checks are also used to understand if the request is sent from Facebook or not to prevent requests coming outside of Facebook. (will write why we want this)Once the application is successfully rendered, Facebook JS API takes place, does its checks and sets the fbsr cookie. We use that cookie information while processing ajax requests to check if the request really belongs to the logged in user (e.g.: scores being sent for a user belong to the logged in user).
We implemented CSRF protection and another protection to check if the requests are POST and more specifically AJAX requests and return 40x if not.nd out that some people seem to take advantage of this bug.One way I thought of is to ignore all requests except coming from Facebook. Since the ajax requests are blocked (cross site) we should have been safe. However this leaded to another problem that, once we redirect users to e.g. leaderboard the signed_request data is lost and our index page returns 40x once the user tries to go back since our application thinks that the user tries to visit our application outside of Facebook.
My mission is to embed a video (custom player) into a facebook wall and track the users events (play count etc.), also gather other relevant data. I was wondering is this at all possible, if so, can you comment on that briefly?

We're currently building a Flex application using the PureMVC framework with a shell.swf which loads/unloads modules dynamically. We're experiencing issues with memory and we're looking to replace the shell.swf with a JavaScript-based loader.Two questions:What would be a good framework to dynamically load the Flex components and allow the modules to communicate between each other?Would dynamically loading/unloading the modules via JavaScript take care of the typical memory problems associated with Flex/Flash applications?
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?
