But you can already use iFrame custom tabs to do this. Of course, at this point I'm not sure why anyone would want to have a custom tab in Flash. Although some iPad users may use the Facebook app which doesn't show custom tabs anyway, there are many other reasons for avoiding all-Flash content.

One of my main concerns is the layout size for Flash templates used within an iFrame. Thanks for the post.

But good riddance! Having to deal with these eccentric flavors of coding was a major drag.

However, it's deprecated (doomed) and will not be supported after June 1, 2012.
