Facebook Connect & OpenSocial: Libraries

From time to time I tend to release some code we produce at Proximity BBDO. Most of the time they are related to implementations of existing code libraries: wrappers for Javascript frameworks like Facebook Connect and OpenSocial. There have been a lot of questions lately about the whereabouts of the libraries, so here’s an overview.

Note: I know I’m mixing git and svn, but the reason is that we use svn at Proximity BBDO and I use git at home, so the libraries are on svn and the examples and javascript/html files are on git. Sounds stupid, but I think you should learn both VCS technologies anyway :)

Actionscript 3 – Facebook Connect Flash Bridge

A Javascript to Flash bridge to connect to Facebook through the Facebook Connect library. Some examples using the library can be found at http://www.thefwa.com/50million/ and various campaigns we produce at Proximity BBDO (Belgacom, Pepsi, Cecemel, …).
There is a refactor in the work. Stay tuned!

Actionscript 3 – OpenSocial Flash Bridge

Applications deployed on a social platform implementing OpenSocial (like Netlog, Orkut and MySpace) can use this Javascript / AS3 library to connect to all some of the features of OpenSocial in a Flash website.
Work example can be found at http://stream.microsite.be/dev/netlog/osflashbridge.xml (you need to run this in an OpenSocial sandbox).

Actionscript 3 – Google Friend Connect Flash Bridge

Based on the OpenSocial Flash Bridge, the Google Friend Connect Flash Bridge leverages the login capabilities of Google Friend Connect for Flash websites. You need the OpenSocial Flash Bridge to use this one.

Very small project which connects to a JayRock service built in .NET.
