I am having an issue with Mochiads. I have one of my Flash games on Facebook. Everything works just fine when the SWF is hosted by me. However, when I give it to Mochiads, they create a wrapper for the file, and the facebook transactions don't work. I suspect it's because of this code:
[Code]....
Facebook passes in some parameters when it loads the SWF, such as session ID and user ID. However, when the SWF looks at this.root.loaderInfo it is only looking at the Mochiads wrapper, not the Facebook canvas that loaded it. I am going to contact Mochiads and see what they recommend. I suspect it might be worth trying this:
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'd like to gain read only access to the following parameters of embedded Flash videos located on sites that I do not own through my own custom browser extension/add-on:
Time location of playback head (so I can display the current time in the browser extension via HTML5/JavaScript) Frames (so I can make capture them to an image file, save it and display image in browser extension) Original Dimensions in pixels (so I can display the original video dimensions via JS/HTML5 in browser extension)
Is this possible by using Javascript and HTML5 from a browser extension?
Would I have to use something like the SWFObject Javascript API [URL]
I'm using a PHP proxy script to load images from Facebook into Flash without any sandbox violations. It is taken from the guide here: [URL].. The relevant PHP code is:
[Code]...
The guide mentions that additional security measures are recommended for a real world application. What additional measures would be applicable to this? Maybe some kind of key passed from Flash to PHP?
I realise that there's nothing I can do to completely protect the Flash from being decompiled, but can I prevent the script from being used maliciously?

View 1 RepliesI have dynamic flash content embedded into a Facebook fanpage. The flash file consists of an interactive environment where the mouse icon is substituted with a "flashlight" (i.e.spot of light), and the user "looks" around the dark room, lighting up the different areas with the light. When the light passes over certain areas (invisible buttons), specific "effects" are triggered and an animation ensues, along with an accompanying sound effect.It works great on the original webpage! But the Facebook page has some issues:1) The embedded flash file loads relatively slowly. I can deal with this, but the next issue is what is frustrating;
2) Everything works initially. The "flashlight" works. The background audio works. When the effects are triggered, the accompanying SOUND EFFECT works, but not the animation. After this, none of the effects will trigger. If I refresh the page, and let it load again, then everything will work.This is very frustrating, I can provide a link, if need be (I've had a somewhat similar problem on a website I designed with certain things loading a times, but not at others.
How to access a loader loaded by a loader
View 4 RepliesI'm having trouble passing the url for a users facebook profile picture to a Loader() variable. I'm using a PHP file to get around the security and from the debug I made, it shows that I'm getting the URL fine, but the Loader runs the error event listener. Here is what my facebookProxy.php file looks like;
<?php
$path=$_GET['path'];
header("Content-Description: Facebook Proxied File");

Game.swf, which needs to access FlashVars from Game.html... easily done withLoaderInfo(this.root.loaderInfo).parameters;It turns out that Game.swf is heavy enough to require a preloader. The onlyeffective way of doing that in AS3 is to loadGame.swf intoPreloader.swf, which is embedded in Preloader.html.The question is, where do the FlashVars go (in Preloader.html??), and how can Game.swf access those variables? I've tried
LoaderInfo(this.parent.loaderInfo).parameters;
//and
LoaderInfo(this.root.parent.loaderInfo).parameters;

I have an AS3 swf which loads and external AS2 swf. Inside the AS2 swf i have the following code which fetches the flashvars passed through html.
flashpar.text = "Params: " + _level0.name;
When i run the AS2 SWF independently passing the param through HTML. It works fine.But when i load the AS2 swf inside AS3 swf. It is not able to fetch the flashvars, which is strange cz if i load the AS2 SWF inside another AS2 swf it works fine. how should i fetch the flashvars inside the loaded AS2 SWF.
In many tutorial i have find how to use FlashVars in embed or object tag of html. I used the FlashVars in an html file as follows:
[Code]...
Then in the fla I tried to display the userName in a text field. But its displaying undefined. Should I define any method in fla to access the FlashVars variable.

Edit: I've come to realize the main problem I'm facing is that I want a text field that already exists in a movieclip or on the stage to take the string from a flashvar. For some reason it will not do that. How do I make a pre-existing text field change to match the flashvar text?

View 1 RepliesI'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 using the actionscript api for a flash application on the web. I would like to perform actions which require an access token, but I'm unsure of the security implications of using this in flash (which can be decompiled). Is the access token something I need to keep secret?
N.B. Specifically I'm trying to post game achievements which require the app's access token to be passed. But I'm not sure how I can do this securely from flash (or whether this is not an issue).
I looked all over facebook api docs for FLEX and i couldnt find a way to obtain a new access token, can anyone please guide me how to that?By the way , the only time I get error "access token" is when I try to get information from the api and using the parameter "since".when I use this call, im getting a token error massage [code]and when im using it without since FacebookDesktop.api("me/likes",handleFeed);

We're planning on allowing others to embed our custom player swf (which play the projects we produce) on their site/blog/etc with embed code, but want to maintain enough control to blacklist certain sites that use our projects unfairly or in violation of our terms.What's the best way to block certain sites from embedding our swf? We had an idea of attaching a unique ID with each embed code and then having the player make a call to our site to check a list to see if that ID is blocked or not....but that's easy to bypass, and wouldn't it be easier to just dump the blocked sites into an .htaccess of httpd.conf file with some mod_rewrite trickery?
