my first Flash Facebook app

Februar 1st, 2010 • 4 comments facebook, flash

Recently I created a facebook app called “ImageViewer”.

The App shows your Photos in fullscreen, and you can also browse through your friend’s photos.

Here are some coding hints:

• you can’t use fbml (doesn’t allow flash fullscreen)
• you need some php params provided in the iframe url (session secret…)
• using “WebSession” for the Facebook authentication worked fine for me
• I couldn’t find a way to test the app locally. So I highly recommend a FTP ant task for a good workflow
• Working with one big model class (handling the whole facebook data) worked fine.
• It wasn’t as anoying as I thought ;)
