Based on requests from users, I’ve now made the Flash Embed Facebook application much more user-friendly. Now, instead of entering in the Flash animation details manually, you can paste in a Flash embed code, and everything should be detected automatically. I tested this with some YouTube videos, CollegeHumor videos, and Miniclip.com games, and it all seems to be working fine

As usual, please report any bugs here as a comment, or via email.

Thanks to everyone that’s been testing my “Flash Embed” Facebook application and reporting problems to me. I’ve added a “Latest News and Updates” section to the application, so users are able to quickly see the latest updates. The bugs that have been reported so far are:

• The animations display with a transparent background, even if a background colour has been specified in the Flash animation. [Unconfirmed]
• The icon for the application does not have a transparent background. [Fixed on 2nd October 2007]
• The dimensions of the Flash animation need to be entered manually. I’m not quite sure how to fix this, though (as I don’t think there’s a way to automatically detect how big the animation is).

If you find a bug in the application, please tell me about it (either by posting a comment here, or emailing me at facebook -[at]- daniel15.com)

Thanks guys!

If you want to put a Flash animation on your profile, you may use my Flash Embed application, available from http://www.facebook.com/apps/application.php?api_key=fa3e01813e0bb57df6c615a84f3e6838. You can also use this to add videos that give you an embed code (eg. YouTube, Metacafe, etc.)

Enjoy!
