my first Flash Facebook app

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 ;)

  1. This is a really nice app, but there seems to be a problem with the gallery-listing. It only shows up to 12 galleries, I can’t scroll down if there are more.

  2. You’re right. I didn’t implement a scrolling feature. I thought noone would have more than 12 galleries ;)

    I try to do it this week. It’s just a question of time.

    Thanks for the feedback!

  3. Wunderbar :D ;)
