I am working on a Flash game http://alexgblog.com/?p=772
I want to make available Facebook actions from inside the game, like
getting the user ID or publishing to wall.
Do I need to use JavaScript in a browser page to pass the
authentification params to SWF ? The SWF is on some browser page, for
example on game portal. Or I can access the Facebook parameters
directly from the SWF?
I dont realy understand the authentification flow in facebook-
actionscript-api.
Thanks !

Take a look at the FlashWebExample at
http://code.google.com/p/facebook-actionscript-api/downloads/detail?name=GraphAPI_Examples_1_6_1.zip
It shows you how to initialize the library, login to facebook, and
make calls to get and post data.

Thanks Trevor
In example FlashWebExample we can see in the <head>
<head>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/
libs/swfobject/2.2/swfobject.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://connect.facebook.net/
en_US/all.js"></script>
</head>
So the JS script is required.
I am making a game, which will be distributed on portals and I have no
access to HTML code from there.
Can I call from Flash a function like this:
"
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest( "
var script= document.createElement('script');
script.type= 'text/javascript';
script.src= 'http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js';
document.getElementById('theHeader').appendChild(script)
top.attachScript " );
navigateToURL(url, "_self")
"
?
Will it work?
Did anyone try to master this functionality?
Is there any way to use FB from Flash, without access to initial HTML,
like on Flash game portals?

The api assumes you have control over the HTML. If you're posting to
portals, you're basically at their mercy when it comes to embedding
your SWF properly and importing the right scripts. And I don't think
your suggestion would be the best because game portals probably
wouldn't like the idea of your SWF injecting HTML elements into the
current page (no matter how good your intentions are). Facebook
requires that we use JS to authenticate the user for web apps, however
you can authenticate with Facebook.mobileLogin for mobile apps (which
doesn't required JS), but this requires PHP to serve the SWF your app-
secret.

Games portals always insert swf in frames so its secure to inject
HTML.
So is it possible to use a code like this:
HTML.
So is it possible to use a code like this:
"
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest( "
var script=
document.createElement('script');
script.type= 'text/javascript';
script.src= 'http://connect.facebook.net/
en_US/all.js';
document.getElementById('theHeader').appendChild(script)
top.attachScript " );
navigateToURL(url, "_self")
" ?
and to initialise the external Facebook JS library?
var url:URLRequest = new URLRequest( "
var script=
document.createElement('script');
script.type= 'text/javascript';
script.src= 'http://connect.facebook.net/
en_US/all.js';
document.getElementById('theHeader').appendChild(script)
top.attachScript " );
navigateToURL(url, "_self")
" ?

I don't know. You'll just have to try it and see. What's preventing
you from trying?

No, external interface is awailable only if you have some JS on page.
And I want to add JS to page from within Flash. Though after you add
JS from within Flash, you can us ExternalInterface also.
