I want to create a FB app that uses ActiveX.
Is there a way to make the ActiveX running after the user left the app page and went to some other FB page?

You can substitue “ActiveX” here with “any kind of plugin content” easily, and the answer still remains the same as it has for ages on the web:
If the page it is contained in is unloaded, the plugin content will of course stop playing.
Within facebook.com, your only option is to open a popup and have your plugin content play within that window.

Tried to add a facebook like button which worked ok earlier, I have installed a plugin for wordpress to display the correct thumbnail when its shared on timeline. The problem is when I refreshed the sites thumbnail image using facebooks lint/debug tool (http://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug) I am not unable to actually 'like' the site.
When I click it a pop asked me to sign in which is fine, but the 2nd pop up 'where you can type a message along with your like) closes itself when I click it, I have no idea what is causing this, anyone shared the same experience or have any idea what may be causing it? Or do I have to wait until Facebook scrapes the page?
This ended up working today after another refresh on facebooks URL debug tool, seems random.
first what I have:
I have a Canvas app that could be added to a facebook page but should not be accessed directly.
I meen no user should be able to open the app direclty. Only through the "tab" on a page that added my app.
but when i search for the app and click on it, I am redirected to the app and not (like it was some time/months ago) to a page where i have the option "add to my page".
(I dont know exactly how to describe it better. I hope you understand what i meen. )
How can I get this "page" back where i was able to add the app to one of my other fan pages?
thanks in advance.
In the past, an app had a graph picture just like users from the url
https://graph.facebook.com/APPID/picture
This came from the old app fan pages. Now that apps have migrated to regular fan pages, there are two problems.
1: Old apps still use the picture from the old inaccessible app page and there seems to be no way to change it.
2: New apps just get a question mark with no way to change it.
How can the graph picture be set for apps?
I just created a brand new app. So I know this applies to new apps.
Go to https://developers.facebook.com/apps/APP_ID/summary,
move your mouse over the icon and an action link appears saying "Edit" in the upper right corner of the default image.
Click that edit action link
Click [Browser...] to find the image on your local environment to upload
Select image
Wait for it to process.
It appears beside your app name on that basic page.
EDIT
How to get at this photo.

This was a bug that has since been fixed by Facebook.
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:

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'm having a problem with a Facebook application that I'm doing. The idea of my work is to make an iframe application that registers and login automatically into a mediawiki webpage that I have on the same server.
All that work is already done, but right now when I'm logged in to mediawiki after entering the app, when I click on create, or edit that article, it's not working. After clicking the link the web stays static, like no clicks were done.
In fact, the problem occurs with all Special: pages from mediawiki, all the others links works properly.
In chrome when I Ctrl+click and open in a new tab, everything works fine, but for my app requested I needed to stay into the iFrame.
