hey, the graph api isn't such a hard thing to get your head around, it would be absolutely fantastic if it only worked how it was documented ;)
the new(ish) as3 api that has been linked on here is a lot easier to use than the OAuth ports that were around before. this is really handy http://developers.facebook.com/tools/explorer?method=GET&path=591961122 as is setting up test users etc (details in the tools bit). now, as i hinted at before the graph api doesn't always behave how you would expect, but it's quirks are quirks for everyone, not just as3 devs. that said, stackoverflow has some great information on where the graph api goes "offroad", it could be that the answers are php or js related but the graph api is always the same so you can work it out from there. hth, tom.
