  • 0

I created a facebook app and the login loads but once it does that I get a blank screen. Its seems like my swf is not loading at all. This is my index.php file:

 <html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xmlns:fb="http://www.facebook.com/2008/fbml">
  <head>
    <!-- Include support librarys first -->
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/swfobject/2.2/swfobject.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://connect.facebook.net/en_US/all.js"></script>
    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>

    <script type="text/javascript">

      var APP_ID = "my_id";
      var REDIRECT_URI = "my_url";
      var PERMS = "publish_stream, user_photos"; //comma separated list of extended permissions

      function init()
      {
        FB.init({appId:APP_ID, status: true, cookie: true});
        FB.getLoginStatus(handleLoginStatus);
      }

      function handleLoginStatus(response)
      {
        if (response.session) { //Show the SWF

          swfobject.embedSWF("main.swf", "flashContent", "640", "480", "9.0", null, null, null, {name:"flashContent"});

        } else { //ask the user to login

          var params = window.location.toString().slice(window.location.toString().indexOf('?'));
          top.location = 'https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/authorize?client_id='+APP_ID+'&scope='+PERMS+'&redirect_uri=' + REDIRECT_URI + params;
        }
      }
      $(init);
    </script>
  </head>
  <body>
    <div id="fb-root"></div>
    <div id="ConnectDemo"></div>
  </body>
</html>

Is there any reason why this wouldnt work?

    The second parameter to the swfobject.embedSWF needs to be the id of the element to which you are injecting the SWF. You use flashContent which doesn’t exist in your DOM?
