Adobe and Facebook, Connect
Adobe and Facebook have connected since last week. Adobe has picked up an open source Actionscript 3 library from Google Code and reworked it to an official Adobe library for Flash applications on Facebook. Since there are 10.000+ applications on Facebook and countless of them are made in Flash, the developer base who benefit from this is huge. Which is great of course. The library supports Facebook Connect as well, so, people developing for the Facebook platform can easily reuse there code if they want to incorporate Facebook Connect for external use. It works kind of the same as my implementation: using a small javascript side and fully implemented actionscript part. I would encourage you to start using the officially supported library as it is ... supported and fully implemented :) Have fun developing for Facebook!
