Question

I would like to embed a flash file into my facebook iframe canvas, I am using the PHP sdk, here is my code,

echo "<fb:swf swfsrc=\"http://my.site.com/facebook-test/the_file.swf\" width=\"760\" height=\"710\" />";

I have tried everything but it still doesn’t seem to want to display.

Thanx in advance!

You also need to include the imgsrc property. This is a thumbnail image that is displayed to begin with as facebook requires a user to click on the thumbnail before the actual swf is loaded

So you need something like:

echo "<fb:swf imgsrc=\"http://my.site.com/facebook-test/the_file_thumbnail.jpg\" swfsrc=\"http://my.site.com/facebook-test/the_file.swf\" width=\"760\" height=\"710\" />";
