Transparency issues fixed
Today, I fixed the “transparency” issue on the Facebook Flash Embed application. Rather than using a transparent background for all Flash animations, it now allows you to set the background colour. Some animations that did not display correctly previously will now appear correctly.
Additionally, a few minor bugs with the Import a Flash “embed” code were fixed as well. FlashVars in <embed> tags should now work properly.
As usual, please report any bugs to me

I tried your app on my profile:
http://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=664888572
All settings seem to work fine, except no matter what I do, I cannot set transparency to “off”.
Other suggestions:
+ could you increase the width to the full 396 pixels of the column?
+ could you remove the white space above and below the flash? (if no text is intered)
+ is there maybe possibly a workaround to start the flash with an autoexecuting script or something?
Thanks for a great FB app!

Sorry to bother you.
But I didn’t see that you fixed the transparency thing.
The Background Color setting, seem to me, it does not work at all.
It makes my cartoon very ugly!
Why not delete that transparency item???!!!

Hi Daniel5,
Great app! Would also love to see an auto-play option like mads requested.
Any chance?
Thanks,

Hi and thanks for an easy to use Facebook app!
I really love that, and I really wonder why Facebook didn’t include this as a standard in the first place.
I have a question here, which maybe I should ask the FB peaople about, but you would know, I guess.
I created a Page on Facebook, and then tried to add you embed application on that page. However it ended up on my Profile page.
Is that behavior part of your application or is it a Facebook rule?
Great app!

hi i am also having trouble with the transparency. if i uncheck it and enter a background, facebook will re-check it upon saving and I can’t get a background color. otherwise it works great! i agree that auto-play would be very nice. thank you.

Hi!
Excellent application and seemingly rock steady
Would it be possible to give the application instance a title other than Flash Embed. I know this is a bit tricky, as you want people to find the application, so maybe something like “Flash Embed presenting ” , or just “Flash Embed - ”
I added a mobile snapshot presentation, using Flash Embed, but my friends doesn’t find it when folded. I also want to embed another Flash, and of course it will get the same title.
Thanks for a great app!
Cheers!

Sorry, that didn’t make sense since angle brackets are swallowed
My suggestion were meant to read:
“Flash Embed presenting ” MyTitle or
“Flash Embed - ” MyMovie

After deleting the animation and the application showing that there wasn’t
an animation the old animation still appeared on my profile.
Thank you,

Thank you for this app. I just have a question. how can rearrange the flash animations once I have more than one? I want to place the latest one on top but I always get them in a random place. Thanks.
