Is it possible to place an picture in the FB timeline and when click on it, a popup window with an iframe or lighbox appears?
I want place an interactive video in the Timeline. Visitors must click on the picture without leaving the Facebook page.
No, you can't inject popups/Lightboxes into the Facebook Newsfeed.
You can try use swf, and their character of custom video players, to get some interactivity. But in general, people don't really enjoy that experience.

I have a website where there are multiple videos on a single page and like to add a button to share each video separately onto Facebook wall and be capable of playing each video inside the Facebook timeline.
I understand if there was only one video to share on the page, it is as easy as adding Open Graph tags to the head of the page to make this happen. But this will obviously not work for me since there are multiple videos on the page with share to facebook buttons on each video.
Does anyone know how I can go about making this happen?
Its simple put the Facebook/Twitter/Google/etc buttons onto a separate page and use an iframe to put it on the main page. You can use php to automatically create the "share" pages.
I did it for a site I'm making you can see it here - http://www.lftv.com.br/index.php
I have an audio stream I'd like to include on a Facebook Page, above or at the top of, the wall. Apparently BBC did this (though I can't find the link). Any suggestions on where I should start? I have the html hosted as a Heroku app right now, and can get it to display as a separate link on the Page. But how do I move it from it's own page and onto the Wall?
Thanks much from a FB Developer newbie,
Peter
Peter i believe what you might have seen is actually a page tab, with a feed app included to which they would have developed the feed itself as part of the tab..
tab http://developers.facebook.com/docs/appsonfacebook/pagetabs
if you wish to inlucude a flash movie or audio on the wall itself as a post.

if you can find us the link to the page you seen this on it would help alot.
This is not possible, there's no way to embed custom content into a facebook page wall, except via the existing public APIs (none of which will allow auto playing of audio content - this is deliberate)
I am trying to open a flash gallery with modal box in my iFrame Facebook app, but it is bigger than 520px. I found 2 solutions:
Insert a piece of code in the parent windows to make the modal to open with Target _parent, This is impossible since the parent windows is the Facebook!
Open flash video with iFrame inside a Facebook Dialog Box,
I have been looking for a tutorial for days without success. Anyone knows how can I do something like this:
<fb:dialog id="my_dialog">
<fb:dialog-title>My title</fb:dialog-title>
<fb:dialog-content> Flash video </fb:dialog-content>
</fb:dialog>
Maybe it's a solution for what I need, but it's more than 2 months and nobody answered this question.

Here is my page, but remember that it is a work in progress and I do not know how long it will be a useful link:

Thanks in advance.
Didn't try it out once but it might be because of fbml deprecated.. http://developers.facebook.com/docs/reference/fbml/
If it is wider than 520px , you can try canvas page (i know user will have to leave fan page) and integrate inside Facebook. It might be even better in user experience perspective, if i have been visiting your page and in tab app if you lock my Facebook screen and show a dialog box with flash gallery, i will annoyed. It will be much better in canvas without any popups. Guess.. :)
I have my own Canvas app and i want to get the original lightbox.
So you have the same case as in Facebook. Click on a Picture and get a lightbox for comments and so on.
I found a Thread about it here but there was no anser and it was old(Old Api).
You can't use the Facebook theater mode (Facebook lightbox) in your apps. You need to use your own lightbox library keeping in mind that you are inside an iframe.
i designed a special facebook lightbox theme for the colorbox - you can use that, and it works with iframes.
Is there any way to load all the images in an album in Facebook? As soon as a person views the first image, the rest of the images should be automatically loaded in background. How to do it? Javascript? or any other language?
yes there is, its a greasemonkey (javascript) add-on called Facebook Fixer. firstly download greasemonkey then the facebook fixer, then you have to enable it on the page you have the album on.
Reload the page, you should be able to see that there are new links at the top now, click "show big pictures" and there you have it.
