Is it possible to post a slideshow in your facebook newsfeed only using HTML/Javascript/CSS ?I think it is possible to post a slideshow using flash. But I'm hearing that FB is in the process of depreciating FBML, will this affect flash content too?
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].........
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';
[code].....
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 RepliesIs there a way to post to a users Facebook wall via fbConnect? (php/as3) I can authenticate and pull info but not post anything. I have searched extensively and not found a working example or docs on how to post directly via AS3. My current work around is to external link to an Ajax page.
View 1 RepliesI published 2 days ago a Facebook app, it's a flash game, after the game over, the flash file POST score to my php file, Publish your score to wall if you beat your highscore, Facebook disabled the application because bad reviews from users.
How to POST from Falsh to PHP without redirecting the user, i want after the game over POST score, insert it in DB, and show the user Stream Publish popup if he want to publish to wall the score or not.
I'm writing an app for Android using Adobe AIR 3.0 and facebook action script 3 sdk to enable user social experience. I can't call facebook methods using ExternalInterface, so I have to make all request using GRAPH api. [URL]
So, working with this SDK, provide me with code example how can I post to users wall (text + URL link + image) using:
1) app requests
2) streamPublish.
In the comments of this question, users have commented that it's possible to insert a Flash applet into a Facebook wall post. I was under the impression this isn't possible without making a FB app.
I'm aware that FB will convert links to various media types - e.g. a link to a MP3 becomes automagically a SWF MP3 player, but the Flash applet used is chosen by FB's internal logic, not by the content of the post. Is it possible to embed a SWF applet of your own choosing?
As I haven't been able to find any documentation on this, has anyone else? Or, do you have some PoC code that does this?
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):

I am trying to figure out why this is not working. I have a Flash .swf that is attempting to POST some variables to a .php file in the same location as my .swf. My facebook app is in FBML Canvas. Here is the function I am calling. The .php file is never receiving anything
public function sendData():void{
var request:URLRequest = new URLRequest("apps.facebook.com/MYAPPNAME/api/update.php");
request.method = URLRequestMethod.POST;

I'm using the FB API and it's working fine. I can post a photo just fine, and I can post to the users wall with me/feed but I need the post to include a link to another FB page. I learned yesterday that you can't post a link within a wall post - ie the users feed, so I'm trying to post a like, but not having any luck.
View 2 RepliesI am building a Flash site and I want to be able to allow the user to post dynamically produced information to their Facebook wall, but I can't find out any information within the Facebook developers documentation.
Its simple enough in Javascript/HTML:
<script type="text/javascript">
function callPublish(msg, attachment, action_link) {
FB.ensureInit(function () {
[Code].....
As you can see I don't want to create sessions or login or anything complicated, just post to info to their wall.
I am creating a game that needs to be integrated with Facebook. The game is done and once the user complets that game it adds the button that send score to the Facebook wall of the user.
I have downloaded the Facebook api for flash and is able to connect to the user and get its id. But I don't know what command to use to post the score or message on users wall via swf.[code]...
Can someone point me to a simple example of posting to a user's facebook pages using a query string? ie I'm not using facebook connect.
View 1 RepliesI would like to use Flash to send a ByteArray (of a PNG image) to a php file, in a facebook application. Is there a way to do this by sending the ByteArray as just one POST variable instead of as the entirety of the POST data?
There was a nearly identical question here: How can I send a ByteArray (from Flash) and some form data to php? but the problem is different; instead of smuggling other variables in other parts of the request, the image itself has to be sent as just a variable because Facebook commandeers the post data and puts in its own junk.
If not, can I send the image in some form other than a byteArray?
Someone have already done this? I have a solution in mind, but I don't tried yet. Before trying i'm wanna know if it's possible.
My solution is just posting a wall into an html page and getting the source of page in Flash and parsing it.
All I really need is to make a post to the Facebook wall of the user from flash movie.Been trying to find any decent tuts for Flash IDE but everything seems to be for Flex mainly.
View 2 RepliesAnyone know if you can connect, login, post an image to a Facebook account directly from inside of Flash? I grabbed the Facebook API for AS3 and have it installed, created an application definition on Facebook but am having no look connecting to it? I have seen some refereneces to it only working inside of Flex and am wondering it that's the case. I am looking to do a kiosk application where a camera image will be uploaded directly to the persons FB page.

View 2 RepliesI have a series of .swf files that I inherited from an old version of a site I'm trying to rebuild.
When flash_element.submitForm() is called, they POST some data directly to a static url ("/submit"), then depending on the response, reload the browser page.
I would very much like to capture the data that they POST using javascript - preferably without it getting sent at all - so that I can have more intelligent logic to handle to request/response than is built into the .swf files I've inherited.
Basically: When a flash object makes a http request, can I catch and cancel this event in Javascript?
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 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.

View 1 RepliesI am currently using URLLoader to get the source code of a webpage, problem is, I need the source that is is created after its javascript runs (what you would actually see in a browser), not the true source code.

Any way in as3 to get the final html (post-javascript) of a page?
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:
