Question

I have a Facebook Canvas iframe app. In that, I have a SWF object which needs to call a javascript function which is defined in my main facbebook app body.
The call is not being made, I’m guessing Facebook are stopping it.

There must be a way around this?

I am doing a test call like this from Flash (AS2):

getURL("javascript:alert(1);");

Do I need to try and capture the facebook iframe and use that in Flash?

Answer 1

I knew there was a way around this. Put the flash in a HTML document and set document.domain = x. In the body of the Canvas app, also set the same document.domain = x. Then use an iframe to show the flash’s HTML document.

The flash then can make javascript calls and interact with your canvas app as needed.
