Advanced Topics › Legacy FBML › fb:swf
FBML has been deprecated. Starting June 1, 2012 FBML apps will no longer work as all FBML endpoints will be removed. If you are building a new application on Facebook.com, please implement your application using HTML, JavaScript and CSS. You can use our JavaScript SDK and Social Plugins to embedded many of the same social features available in FBML.

Renders a Shockwave Flash (SWF) object. On profile pages, an image appears first. When the user clicks the image, it turns into the Flash object. On canvas pages, the image is ignored, and the Flash object is directly included.

You can also make API calls to Facebook directly from Flash. Check out the official ActionScript 3.0 Library for Facebook Platform for more details.
