  1. hi,

  2. Hey Mark, yes but… you can’t use the HTML component in a Flex app. Other than that using the Adobe Facebook API to login is pretty much the same.

  3. Thanks for the quick reply,

    Are you aware of any counterpart for html control in flex 3 ?

  4. I only know of a (fairly expensive) commercial component http://drumbeatinsight.com/htmlcomponent

    I’m not sure it it has the same listeners for detecting page changes etc.

  5. Thanks man,

    I found another component IFrame (on flex.org) which can display an HTML page, but I will have to find out a way to detect change in URL (location change). Let see if I can get that done, then only I will start using ur code.

    I have another requirement, For Facebook auth authorization, I want to display a 320*250 px HTML page only, Is there a way to resize the Facebook app authorization page in that size without any scrollbars.

  6. You can’t resize the facebook page but with the HTML component you can crop a page, so you could just show the login area.
