In this mini-series, exclusive to Tuts+ Premium members, you’ll learn how to use Flash to build a Facebook Graph API application that can create slideshows for your public pages. The final part shows you how to actually retrieve and display the information from Facebook.
Premium Preview
Click to try the app on Facebook.
This application allows you to select a Facebook album or event list from one of your public pages and turn it into a slideshow for your page tab. When the users enter your page, they will see photos from your chosen album, with your photo title and description, or event name, date and invites (for the event tab).
In the previous part of this series, we created the event slider generator. In this part we’ll make the actual slider for the images (and later, for the events).

In this Premium series, you’ll learn how to use Flash to build a Facebook Graph API application that can create slideshows for your public pages. This third part covers generating a code to load the events from a Facebook Page.

When the users enter your page, they will see photos from your chosen album, with your photo title and description, or event name, date and invites (for the event tab).
In the second part, we created the embed code for the album (basically finding out the album ID from which we load the photos). This time, we are going to use the Graph API to get a list of a page’s events, based on its Page ID.

In this second part of this mini-series of Premium tutorials, you’ll learn how to use Flash to build a Facebook Graph API application that can create slideshows for your public pages. This second part covers loading album information, and generating and displaying the embed code.
Premium Preview
Click to try the app on Facebook.
Welcome back to our Facebook Flash application tutorial! In this part, we’re going to continue building the Flash interface for building the Facebook slider. The interface will handle choosing an album for displaying in a Facebook tab.
This application allows you to select a Facebook album or event list from one of your public pages (not your personal profile) and turn it into a slideshow for your page tab. When the users enter your page, they will see photos from your chosen album, with your photo title and description, or event name, date and invites (for the Event tab).
In future parts of this series, we’ll create the actual Flash slider that does just that; meanwhile we’ll create the generator for the embed code that will reside at the Facebook application URL.
