Anyone Doing Facebook Apps with SWF Studio?

Hey Tim,

Recently I decided to dedicate a day to this and when I got stumped using AS3 I switched to my old standard...Classic ASP! There were no ASP examples but I was able to get this working just fine. The thing is, Facebook actually encourages this type of app. They have had an API for awhile but recently introduced their new Graph API as the "right" way to do things.

First I read this page,

http://developers.facebook.com/docs/api

then I jumped over to this one,

http://developers.facebook.com/docs/authentication/

and then back to the first one!

I had to use MSXML2.ServerXMLHTTP to do posts and grab the return values but this was actually quite easy. Just a couple of steps to get permission from the Facebook account owner and then get a token. After that I can post any time I want without further interaction with the Facebook account owner!

Now I'm going to start converting my code the AS3. I'll keep you posted.
