Facebook Iframe – How to add Flash content

Pirenko — Fri, 11 Mar 2011 23:58:35 +0000

Facebook has changed the rules… Again!!!
I just created a small video to help you on showing flash content with iframes, because now it’s no longer possible to add new FBML tags. Click on the image below to play the video.

Here are the steps that you should follow:
1 – Login to your facebook account

2 – Go to the developers section (click on the lower menu button)

3 – Select “My apps” on the upper menu

4 – Click on Set New App

5 – Give it a name, accept the terms and enter the Security Check code

6 – There are a lot of options, but you need to enter at least the followig:
a) Canvas URL – The directory on your server where the flash object is located
b) Tab URL – The page on your server where the flash object is located

7 – Save changes and click on “Application Profile Page”. It’s time to link this application to your Fan Page

8 – Click on Add to My Page and select the Fan Page you want this new App to be displayed

9 – You’re done. Visit your Facebook Fan Page and you should see a brand new button on your left menu

How to add Flash content to Facebook

Pirenko — Tue, 31 Aug 2010 21:57:42 +0000

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:




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'

/>

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.
