With a large number of users Facebok is currently impossible to avoid when surfing the web. Here’s a simple and plain tutorial on how to add Flash content to a Facebook page:
1 – Open this Facebook link to create a new page
2 – Insert the desired information to create an Official Page and submit the information
3 – On the next page select “Edit page” on the left menu
4 – Now search for the “Static FBML Link” on the Applicattions Tab
5 – Select “Add to my Page” and return to the previous page
6 – Now you have a new tab on the center with FBML. Select “Edit”
7 – Enter the desired title and paste the following sample code on the center rectangle:
<div align="center">
<fb:swf
salign="t"
swfbgcolor="FFFFFF"
swfsrc='http://www.munto.net/flashden/CMS_Millennium_Fbook/preview.swf'
imgsrc='http://www.munto.net/flashden/CMS_Millennium_Fbook/items/start.jpg' flashvars='server_path=http://www.munto.net/flashden/CMS_Millennium_Fbook/
&swf_width=520&swf_height=660'
width='520'
height='660'
/>
</div>
Here’s a brief explanation on the code:
swfbgcolor – The background color of your flash object
swfsrc – The ABSOLUTE PATH to your flash file
imgsrc – The ABSOLUTE PATH to the image that will be diplayed before the flash content is displayed. It’s a bit annoying, but Facebook currently doesn’t allow flash to display automatically
flashvars – Some variables that you might need to send to the flash object. Currently we’re sending 3 variables: server_path, swf_width and swf_height
width – The width of the flash object
height – The height of the flash object
Note: fb:swf supports more parameters. View here the complete list
8 – After this you’re done! Go on and view the page you just have created.
