Hi,

I am currently working on a facebook web app, and I noticed that there is a param for offline_access, e.g. login(true). Do you know of a way to implement this feature using actionScript?

Thanks, James

I cannot make my flash open “publish” popup.

I’ve got this code in my flex application:

session=new FacebookSessionUtil(“api”,”secret”, loaderInfo);
fbook = session.facebook;
if(loaderInfo.parameters.fb_sig_session_key){ session.verifySession(); session.validateLogin(); } else{ session.login();
}
var message:String = “Hello world”;

var attachment:Object = {media: [{
type: "image",
src: "http://domain.com/mtunes.jpg",
href: "http://domain.com/"
}]};

var actionLinkData:ActionLinkData = new ActionLinkData();
actionLinkData.href = “http://domain.com/”;
actionLinkData.text = “Test text”;
fbook.refreshSession();
session.validateLogin();
session.verifySession();
var post:PublishPost = new PublishPost(message, attachment, [actionLinkData], fbook.uid.toString());
var call:FacebookCall = fbook.post(post);

—————

call.success returns false, and call.error is null.

I’m not sure how to make this work.

You’re correct. You don’t have to put the API Key and API Secret Key in your source because the API Key and Secret Session (Some encrypted form of your Secret Key) are passed through flashVars IF and ONLY IF the SWF your are loading into your canvas is on the same domain as your Canvas Calback URL.

Otherwise, you have to put them in your code.

There is another way to retrieve those items because you have to do it for desktop applications using the Facebook framework (unless you put your keys in your code *don’t do that*). However, I haven’t tested them.

The friends column is empty in my app. As I was testing it too I kept receiving an error.
The error was mainly due to this line:
fbcall=new GetInfo(uids,[GetInfoFieldValues.ALL_VALUES]);

It was returning empty data in the event listener function.

I replaced the above line by:
fbcall=new GetInfo(uids,['first_name', 'last_name']);
and it worked.
Nice tutorials! :)

**EDIT** Well the facebook doesnt pass the API secret key, but I’ve heard that there are functions that NOT requiring the secret key. The API key is passed as well via the flash vars, so the library takes it from there.

**Maybe** thats because the AS3 FB lib get these variables from the flashvars that the tag deliver.

I’m back =]
