Hi, I am wondering how to make it so the MMF2 application knows the users name using Facebook, the application is going to be exported to SWF so keep it simple please. I have read the turorial, makes no sence to me, I have setup an application on Facebook already but I just need help on the MMf2 side. An example MFA file would be great.
Thanks in advance if you help,

Be careful as the swf would need permission to do this. My guess is that the app would fetch and read a cookie or connect to a special facebook app server fir verification. The flash plugin might go crazy and say it's a potential risk if the app tries to fetch a cookie. I haven't done this yet but those are what i have seen or heard. I'm not sure if they still use a session server for apps still.
Oh, I was thinking of when the user clicks a button it asks them to login to Facebook, I have heard that Adam has made a Facebook game.
Oops sorry I meant Andrew.
Perhaps you should read the MMF2 Flash Facebook tutorial. ;)
I have, I didn't understand it.
the tutorial says it pretty simply, if your using the default code you can make an event with:
Flash player object - javascript - reset parameter list
Flash player object - javascript - call function "GetUserName"
String or whatever - "Welcome "+JSStrResult$( "Flash® Player" )
However i cant get the PostMessage function to work.. the game gets hidden but nothing else happens, and in IE the game doesnt get hidden either.. please help!
Where is the tutorial because I have deleted it.
