Using Facebook Fanbox (javascript) With Flash
Mar 19, 2010
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'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.

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 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'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'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'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 trying to upload a photo on Facebook using Javascript SDK. In particular I generate a base64 encoded bytearray from my Actionscript3 app, I pass it to Javascript file using ExternalInterface, and from that I decode the bytearray and I try to upload to FB. But it give me this error:
{"error":{"message":"(#324) Requires upload file","type":"OAuthException","code":324}}
I tried to upload an image simply from url, and in that way it goes well! This is my Javascript code:
upPhoto:function(photo) {
var img = F.decode_base64(photo);
FB.api('/me/photos', 'post', {
message:'test',
fileName:'test',

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.

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?

We'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.

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 am currently working on a facebook game and i have a problem concerning the integration of a life counter which regenerates over time for a facebook game. The game is a simple Flash/AS3 shooter in which users are competing for the highest score. For monetary reasons every game costs one life and users should only be able to start a new game, if said life counter is >=1. To clear things up, i submitted a link to Popcap's facebook game "Zuma Blitz": ZUMA Blitz I can think of a few ways to do this, but i don't know which is the best/easiest approach.

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?

I have been requested to make a port of an iOS game for Facebook.The game itself is fairly simple, it is a puzzle game using a 2d array for a grid with XML passed from a server for loading objects onto the the grid, to create levels.The game will ask questions at stages which will be passed to my server and stored for research purposes.Some questions for those with experience.What front-end options do I have with Facebook? I have looked into both Flash and HTML5/js both of which i have little to no experience in (I'm experienced in Java/C#/Ruby + Rails).Javascript seems like a nightmare from what I have read, even looking into javascript game engines, but at least it is free. My backend will most likely be rails for handling server logic.Summary(because I ramble too much)
-Is javascript for programming games really a problem for simple games on Facebook?
-Are js game engines worth using? Does anyone have any experience with them?
-Would prevention of cheating be possible with a js/rails game, do server side checks work?
-Are there any alternatives for a front end for someone with C#/Java/Ruby background?I've never seen any Unity or Java apps on Facebook(I don't use it much) and I don't know if the licensing will be an issue for this research project.

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 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 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.
