hey guys

i have a couple of questions regarding using the facebook api that i'd like
cleared up if possible.

We're looking at settling on a set of classes to work with the facebook api.
We've previously used the set up detailed in
http://www.blog.elimak.com/2010/08/simple-connection-flashfacebook-using-the-new-graph-api/
and
it's worked fine, although there are a couple of hacks needed to get it
working locally (you need to log in and retrieve the token from the POST
variables using Firebug to be able to test it).

However, a bit of Googling around has shown that Adobe has it's own
implementation (http://code.google.com/p/facebook-actionscript-api/) for
facebook which i guess we have to assume will be kept more up to date if
facebook changes their api (which almost *never *happens [/sarcasm]). That
said, they seem to have swcs for desktop, mobile and web deployment and you
can't test the web version locally so we'd have to put the files on an
external server for testing (which is doable but a little time consuming
over the course of a project) or use the desktop (air) version for testing
and hope the web version works the same way (which sounds fraught)

I guess what I'm asking is, have you used the adobe implementation and if
so, what are the gotcha for using it please? Or would you recommend sticking
with the yoz.sk implementation as we've used it before. There seems to be a
lot of confusion on the intertubes so I thought I might get a more concise
set of opinions here.

thanks in advance
Allandt
