The new Adobe ActionScript 3 SDK for Facebook Platform API, fully supported by Facebook and Adobe, makes it really easy to build applications that combine the strengths of the Flash Platform and the Facebook Platform. Millions of people use Facebook every day and it’s the ideal platform to build interactive and social applications for. This new library is developed by the very talented team at gskinner.com and facilitates the development of Flash Platform applications that communicate with Facebook using the OpenGraph API.

In addition to this new SDK we’ve also added a bunch of tutorials to help you get started with this new library on the Adobe Developer Connection.

What will you build with it?

Facebook and Adobe have just released an ActionScript 3.0 Client Library for the Facebook Platform API. This will make it a whole lot easier for Flash developers to build applications for the Facebook Platform using Flash, Flex and AIR.

If you have already built a Flash based application for Facebook in the past, you’re probably wondering what is so new about this release. While there are some unofficial libraries out there, many of these struggle to stay up to date with the rapidly evolving Facebook Platform. Today’s release makes ActionScript one of three officially supported languages of the Facebook Platform. The new AS3.0 Client Library is fully supported by Facebook and Adobe. Both Facebook and Adobe are committed to making sure that this library is kept up to date and provides the best experience for developers building on both platforms.

Danny Dura published a quick start video tutorial that will get you building Flash apps for the Facebook Platform in no time. We’ve also created a dedicated area on the Adobe Developer Connection that has everything you need to get inspired and get started.

Flash on!
