Question

I followed facebooks guidelines to embed a Like button inside my website.
The website has Flash in it so I always get this in my facebook when I do a ‘Like’.
I would like to set the picture to something else.

That’s what I am getting. Get Adobe flash player image

Answer 1

Add this to your head tags:

<meta property="og:image" content="http://image.jpg"/>

change http://image.jpg to the URL of your image.

EDIT:

I can’t really see whats wrong here, but we could always try hiding the flash content from Facebook.

Knowing the facebook useragent (facebookexternalhit/1.1 (+https://www.facebook.com/externalhit_uatext.php))

Add this code to the top of your page:

$fb_ua="facebookexternalhit/1.1 (+https://www.facebook.com/externalhit_uatext.php)";

$user_ua=$_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];

Now replace your flash object html with this:

<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" width="1024" height="768" id="Israel-Iran" align="center">
                <param name="movie" value="Israel-Iran.swf?>" />
                <param name="quality" value="high" />
                <param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
                <param name="play" value="true" />
                <param name="loop" value="true" />
                <param name="wmode" value="window" />
                <param name="scale" value="showall" />
                <param name="menu" value="true" />
                <param name="devicefont" value="false" />
                <param name="salign" value="" />
                <param name="allowScriptAccess" value="sameDomain" />
                <!--[if !IE]>-->
                <object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="Israel-Iran.swf" width="1024" height="768">
                    <param name="movie" value="Israel-Iran.swf" />
                    <param name="quality" value="high" />
                    <param name="bgcolor" value="#000000" />
                    <param name="play" value="true" />
                    <param name="loop" value="true" />
                    <param name="wmode" value="window" />
                    <param name="scale" value="showall" />
                    <param name="menu" value="true" />
