Add a flash chat room to your facebook fan page!

Facebook allows you to embed a flash.swf file into your face page by leveraging the FBML application and the fb:swf tag.

Below are steps for adding a tab to your fan page that will allow you to embed our flash chat room.

1. Add FBML Application

Browser the applications and add the FBML application.



2. Edit Application

Once you've added the application click Edit application



3. Add FBML Markup

The FBML markup is using the fb:swf tag to embed the EveryWhereChat.com flash chat into the page. Because of facebook limitations you have to specify an image (any image you want) that is displayed as a placeholder. You can also modify the defaultRoom=facebook to your room name. In for the future we are looking to pass the facebook login name into the userName=uid field.
