Facebook call

Monkey Targets Forums/Flash/Facebook call

AJStubzy(Posted 2015) [#1]
Hi all,

I'm having some major difficulty getting monkey to retrieve a access_token from Facebook for a Flash game. Not sure, but I think httprequest may not support a redirect?

I'm attempting to get this access_token, so I can retrieve user information using the graph.facebook.com/me API

For the example, I'm using Mak httprequest example, but changed the url in get_req=New HttpRequest( "GET","http://posttestserver.com",Self ) to https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?client_id=<CLIENTID>&redirect_uri=<MYREDIRECT>

However, when it runs, nothing happens. I have setup crossdomains and all other calls direct to graph.facebook.com work fine. Its just this 1 command,

Can anyone help?

I've had this working quite some time ago.

Is your app id that you are using for client_id all setup on facebook with no registration steps still required?

Are you url-encoding your arguments?

Have you tested https support in flash with getting a simple page like https://google.com?

Is this the feature you are trying to use?

Hi Skid, yes the app id I'm using is all setup (all other calls to the graph.facebook.com are working, such as https://graph.facebook.com/oauth/access_token?client_id=<ID>&client_secret=<SECRET>&grant_type=client_credentials, but this is not the token I need)

I'm assuming the url-encoding, https etc is fine, as said above, other calls are working.

I've managed to get a workaround to this by having the server side deal with the Facebook token using PHP and passing it to the game through FlashVars. It's not ideal, and I have some concerns regarding security, but so far so good.
