Actionscript 3 :: Do Any Type Of Info Sharing From Within A Facebook Tab
Sep 22, 2010
Firstly apologies for the length of this question, and for asking about the Facebook API (seemingly one of the most inconsistent API's in the world...). The Situation: We're producing an Facebook product 'community' - type page for our client, featuring standard Facebook tabs, one of which embeds a Flash game. At the end of this game we'd like to be able to share the users' final score via a wall post, and also invite friends to challenge the score.
Firstly - the client is insistent that the game appears on a tab within the page, so moving this all to an application (for example, apps.facebook.com) is sadly not an option. I'm aware you can embed an application on tab instead of static FMBL, but I have tried this and the result is essentially the same or fails (the tab imposes stringent restrictions on what can be rendered, enforcing the use of FBML and negating the FB:Iframe tag for starters).
I want to be able to share videos from my Wordpress site to Facebook using different video providers. I was able to use my own video player, but I'm not ready to post videos using my server and I prefer to have users post using a provider like youtube, vimeo, facebook, ect.. Right now my site has those kind of video players. I edit the meta tags several times, this is the one I currently have:
[code].....
I also tested it using a single youtube video and it worked fine. But since I have other videos beside youtube I can't do it where it just gets a youtube id. Yesterday the posts without videos were showing up, but now when all posts gets share it shows up like if it was a video on my wall, so if clicked it will give an error. I been pulling my hair all week with this and still couldn't get it to work.
when I update my script, it takes so long for facebook to update the change. I have to wait for so long in order to test it again, like if facebook is holding it in cache for too long, is there a way to bypass that?
What I'm trying to do is to share (video) link, description and thumbnail of the link from/of my flash website in google plus. Since main .swf file of the flash site is embedded in the single html file, it is not possible to use different meta data for different posts. So is there any way that I can share the links with related description and thumbnail image in google plus just like in facebook.[URL]

I am trying to create a shared library with runtime sharing so that I can update the interface for an online assessment program globally. I can import items from the shared library OK but once I give something an instance name I get the following error (questionInterface being the movieclip in question here):1046: Type was not found or was not a compile-time constant: questionInterface.
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):
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:
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 some scrolling content (info). I've also made my own scroll bar.I want the scrollBar dragger to be positioned in relation to the info._y as the user scrolls info.I have created two vars: one that worsk out where info._y is as a percentage and the other that works out where the scroll._y dragger should be as a percentage...
Actionscript Code: var scrollBarPercent = Math.round(scrollBar.dragger._y / [code]........
also onMouseWheel working too.I need a small bit of code that takes the % of info._y and moves the scrollBar dragger to the same % but in relation to the Stage.height...so if projectGalleryPercent = 50%, make dragger._y 50% of Stage.height using scrollBarPercent.
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 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.

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 need to connect to have a button on my website that connects to facebook (if not already logged in) and posts to the users wall.I've only done this from within an iFrame - do i still need AppId etc etc?
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 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';
I get the error message. Doing like tuts said. package { import flash.events.*; // rememeber to import all flash libraries or the ERROR will come up with "TYPE" does not exist etc.
I'm basically having the following error: 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type void to an unrelated type Array. In relation to the event listener that calls 'Backdrop'. Backdrop is a public function in another class, but it does still recognise Backdrop as a function.
im making a game and i have occured a problem.i have a hits text on the screen and every time a enemys bullet hits me it decrases by 1.and i wanna make that when it gets to 0 my ship explodes.
I have a dynamic text field on the stage, instance name contentLength. I get this error: 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Number to an unrelated type String.
Code: import flash.display.*; import flash.events.*; import flash.text.TextField; var mcHolder:MovieClip = new MovieClip(); mcHolder.width = 200; contentLength.text = mcHolder.width;
for (var i:int = 0; i < menuArray.length; i++) { var currentIndex:MovieClip = this["menuButton" + i] currentIndex.menuButtonTxt.text = menuArray[i];
[code]...
So when I did this the problem that I am having is that it throws an error at compile time. 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type void to an unrelated type Function.
var result:int; if(observerButton.selected == true) result = assignMemberAsObserverToEvent(dataGrid.selectedItem.id_event,dataGrid2.selectedItem.id_person,assignmentDescription.text); else if(adminButton == true)
[code]...
There is error on two assign function calls.
The error is: Description Resource Path Location Type 1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type void to an unrelated type int. AssignUser.mxml /pui2/src line 149 Flex Problem
I've created a textfield which I want to hold the time that is left of a flv being played. I also created a timer which will see to it that it gets updated.[code]However, when i try to compile i get this error message:"1067: Implicit coercion of a value of type Number to an unrelated type String.
I constantly get:Implicit coercion of a value of type Class to an unrelated type lash.display.BitmapData.var ba:ByteArray = jpg.encode(BitmapData);This is my code from where it tells me it's wrong"
ActionScript Code: var jpg:JPEGEncoder = new JPEGEncoder(); var ba:ByteArray = jpg.encode(BitmapData);
