Is it possible to convert facebook data (ex. user_pic) into a DisplayObject so I can be easier to manipulate? What I m trying to do is when users do FacebookConnect in my site to let them have the possibility to scale their image (like transform tool usage) before submit it in a gallery.

I have an empty mc on the stage called "infoloader" and I'm trying to dynamically load a mc called "my_info0" from the library into the empty "infoloader".My function references an XML array of thumbnails, which trigger movieclips to load into the FLVPlayback depending on which thumbnail is clicked.

Do you know why this AS3 code works:
var loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("http://127.0.0.1/items/boing.png")));
var o:DisplayObject = addChild(loader);
o.x = 100;
o.y = 100;
But if I cast to sprite it doesn't work? Ie the sprite appears on (0, 0) instead of (100, 100):
var loader = new Loader();
loader.load(new URLRequest("http://127.0.0.1/items/boing.png"))
var o:Sprite = Sprite(addChild(loader));
o.x = 100;
o.y = 100;
How would I properly have a sprite instead of a DisplayObject? I need some sprite's features (drag'n drop, useHandCursor...), yet I wish I could still use the very quick writing with the loader.
it seems that there are few support with regards to facebook api in flash. I would just like to ask for help with regards to managing facebook params when it's loaded to flash.
I'm using amfphp and flash professional. I've manage to get the params using
var paramObj:Object = LoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;
This returns 5 params:
sessionheightfb_fbjs_connectionfb_local_connectionwidth What I'm interested in getting are the values in session.My question is how do I convert this session values into an array or how do I get the uid and session_key?
This is the exact return in string:
{"uid":"1448570087",
"session_key":"2.LpHrIZ9IOujNzZBVf7W_Wg__.3600.1290628800-1448570087",

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?
Flex gives the ability to export a display object as a bitmap as follows:
var bitmapDataBuffer:BitmapData = new BitmapData ( displayObject.width, displayObject.height, false);
bitmapDataBuffer.draw ( displayObject, displayObject.transform.matrix);
Is there a method to export a display object as a vector graphic instead of bitmap data?
I've been looking online for a while today to try to locate some information on how to pull information into flash (CS3) from Facebook and more so from Myspace. The reasoning for the myspace (I hate it as much as the next guy) is that I really want the look and feel to mimic the site I'm working on to keep the branding.Currently I have a theme from URL... placed in my theme at URL... and had used the myspaceID for allowing the application access to the account.
View 1 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.
I would like to be able to quickly check if a given DisplayObject is a descendant (not in the inheritance sense - ie. child, grandchild, great-grandchild, great-great-grandchild, etc.) of another DisplayObject. There doesn't seem to be a native way to do this and I can only think of two ways to achieve it: Create the mother of all nested loops. Seems a bit, I dunno, wrong? Dispatch a bubbling event at the 'child' and check if the potential 'parent' receives it.

I have a Facebook application that has a picture gallery. It's build in Flex 4. I want to allow users to link to a specific image. How can that be done?
The only way I see this being done is adding a GET var like &my_picture=asd.jpg in the Facebook page URL, but I don't know how to read that from the iFrame.
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'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 am using CS5 and AS3.
I am using Macromedia Flash MX 2004. I have an excel file with data. I need to create a search box and/or drop down menu that would search an excel file and render data based upon the results. So lets say I have an excel file that has multiple rows. On each row there is a manufacturer, model number, and item name. I want to be able to have a "search box" (if you will) that will search the manufacturer column for what I typed to search for and give me all of the data from the results. So if I searched for a manufacturer and there were three lines/rows for that manufacturer, after searching for that manufacturer, I would see all three as well as the model and the item name (since they are on the same row). I need something like this or a solution for the problem, but it must be in flash. I know excel has a search/filter functionality that would do the same thing, but I want a flash screen.
Also, it may be just as easy to be told how to convert that data into an XML file and have flashplayer use that file that if I selected a manufacturer from a combobox , it would render the data in a text area component.
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.
