trying to get the name of the user in Flash (not FLEX) without the PHP. Currently I have the session, the uid. But from here could not move forward towards getting the name.
var fbook:Facebook;
var api_key:String="xxxx";
var secret_key:String="xxxxx";

I am trying to get the facebook username set to a flashvars and then pass it to a swf, like so:
var flashvars = {
AppID: "my_id",
Name: "" };
function init() {

but the Name flashvars is showing up blank, is there another way to do this?
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.

View 1 RepliesI 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 need to display a Username in a Flash Banner in my website. The Site is PHP and the header is made in Flash. My requirement is that, when a user Logs in, his name should be displayed in the Top of the site (in the Flash banner here) like "Welcome User". Is it possible ? I have the PHP file which displays username. All I need is that to merge it to the flash banner (through actionscript, isnt it ?)
View 1 RepliesI have a flash game that asks the user to enter his username & password then he can start playing the game. After that the score gets saved to MySQL next to his username & password. The final step is to display his scores in the flash game. Everything works fine except for the last step which is calling back the scores from MySQL to the flash game.
I call the scores from MySQL using PHP file which sends the data to flash through XML. I can call the data from MySQL & display it in flash BUT I should enter a specific user name manually in the PHP file. The problem is that I can't make the flash game display the scores of the logged in user. for example: User A signs-in, plays the game, his/her score gets saved & then the problem occurs calling back his/her scores to the flash. In order to display User A scores in the Flash , I should replace the $username variable in the PHP file with "User A" so the scores can be displayed in the Flash file.

I've been trying to load some JSON from a URL with a username/password at the beginning.So the URL resembles: http:/[url]....I've been using the DataLoader class from greensock and it returns a Error #2032: Stream Error if the authentication is up but loads fine when it is disabled.I'm trying to add a 'Authorization' URLRequestHeader to get round this issue? Is this the best way forward?
Edit: I'm trying to use headers in a similar way to this post: Flex 3 - how to support HTTP Authentication URLRequest? but I'm not having much success. The base64 encoder I'm using is from here: http:[url]....

Does anyone know if there a way that I can load the flash site in an iframe, and then use some javascript to fill the flash username and password with the correct text so that they can just click the login button without knowing the username and password?

I am using a Flex widget for my facebook application. How can I get the current user's facebook ID?
View 1 RepliesI 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 am just learning AS. I am trying to make a username and password box that will return a welcome message if the two text fields are entered correctly and a "Sorry Charlie" message if they are not.
I am using an If-Else statement. If I have the Else part commented out, I am able to enter text into the two text fields and get a welcome message. With the else statement though, I am not able to finish entering text in the second text field before the "Sorry Charlie" message appears.

I'm using Flash CS4 Professional, and I'm using AS2 because I think it's a lot less complicated than AS3.I've found a few things on the internet that but I'm wondering if someone could just clear this up for me straight away.I have an input text field with instance name "username", and another named "pass". I then have a login button which has the action play();Once username and password have been filled out and the button is pressed, it plays until frame 3. Frame 3 only has the stop(); action in it for now. Here's what I need the rest of the actions to be:I want it to check the username and password against a text file.

I've been working with this tutorial:[URL] Using AS1, I've been able to extract a variable from a SWF, e.g. the SWF has a querystring associated with it, in the HTML of the web page on which it is embedded:
Code:
<param name="movie" value="loaderInfoExample.swf?userName=TestUser" />
<embed src="loaderInfoExample.swf?userName=TestUser" ....
It's easy to get the variable into AS1 - it's just there, without doing anything. I've tried to do the same in AS2, but I can't get it to work, using Permadi's page. All I want to do is to get the value of the 'userName' var from the SWF Querystring, into a variable in the SWF. The example on the Permadi page didn't work - I may have been doing something very wrong of course.
how i would add actionscript to the following

I'm attempting to make a Username and Password input box, with a set username and password that will take you to the next frame, but whenever I test it it just stays in the same frame.
The code I'm using is
on(release, keyPress "<Enter>"){
if (password eq "###") {
if (username eq "###") {
gotoAndPlay(2) ;
[Code]...
but with the ### being what I actually have the username and password set to. As I said before, when I try this, nothing happens. I have the values for both the username and password boxes set to username and password respectively, but I still cannot get it to work. What am I doing wrong?
I installed FMS into a linux server with its own flash media encoder uthentication add-in. I restarted the fms service. The fms is working fine, i can stream and also visualize the stream on a client. When I connect to fms with fme i'm not asked for username and password. How do I set up users in fms so that the access to it should be restricted?
