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.


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 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.

You’ll need to be logged in to Facebook in order to see this demo: https://apps.facebook.com/activetuts_tabmaker/

    Looks like a great tutorial.

    Please could we have some free tutorials on connecting to Facebook and drawing in profile info and photos using the Flash IDE.

    Thanks, they would be much appreciated as I have tried over 20 tuts on the web and they are all outdated and the ones that aren’t simply don’t work.

    Thanks so much :)
