Embedding flash into a facebook iframe canvas

I would like to embed a flash file into my facebook iframe canvas, I am using the PHP sdk, here is my code, 

echo "<fb:swf swfsrc=\"http://my.site.com/facebook-test/the_file.swf\" width=\"760\" height=\"710\" />";

I have tried everything but it still doesn't seem to want to display.

Thanx in advance!

Embed the swf in a html file and let the iFrame call for the html file. Worked like charm for me here (under construction). The original can be found here.

this will never run because your application is iframe

this code will only run on FBML Canvas

any way if you use the html to render a flash will not run in IE but it will run with Firefox

With an iframe Canvas application, you shouldn't need to use <fb:swf>, and should instead rely on SWFObject or the like to embed it, as you would for a standard web page.

Host your flash in a web page on a server. Then use the iframe on canvas to pull in that page thus your Flash.

You also need to include the imgsrc property. This is a thumbnail image that is displayed to begin with as facebook requires a user to click on the thumbnail before the actual swf is loaded

So you need something like:

echo "<fb:swf imgsrc=\"http://my.site.com/facebook-test/the_file_thumbnail.jpg\" swfsrc=\"http://my.site.com/facebook-test/the_file.swf\" width=\"760\" height=\"710\" />";
