Hi,
I am trying to integrate youtube video in my fbml page along with full screen button using parameter fs=1 but when I click on full screen button nothing happens. What should I do in this case? Please help me. I tried with static fbml & application page.

I think you have to go to youtube where you uploaded the video… and then uncheck the “play related videos” option… or it’s an option that says something like that.

Hope this helps…

So I’ve added a video and video image to a test facebook page to try to get this right. Everything works well except when I click the test image the video pops up at the bottom instead of where the image is… here’s the link to the page so you can see what I’m talking about… it’s the “welcome” tab at the top…

And here’s the code that I’ve used…

All help is greatly appreciated…

Thanks,

I had not problem getting the youtube video into my FBML page. The problem is that after the video plays there is a selection of videos under it that are not mine and I don’t want them on my fanpage. Any suggestions?

hey Tim, my website http://www.baileypizzio.com/Decarla/site/index.swf has code that plays an external mp3 but when I link to facebook the music doesn’t play. Is there a way outside of the facebook generated mp3 play to reincorporate my music into the site?

Annie, I think it has to do with my response to your previous comment #97, above. As I said, before I event saw this comment, that absolute positioning in Facebook can get tricky. You must make sure the element that contains the absolute-position element has the attribute “position: relative”; otherwise, your absolute-positioned element will look for the nearest relative-positioned element and, not finding any it will just stop at the top-most container and be positioned relative to that.

Thanks Annie. I would advise to position a container, in the Facebook environment, with something other than absolute positioning which I’ve seen get pretty buggy in Facebook. Absolute positioning isn’t for novices and it can result in strange & unexpected behavior outside the Facebook environment, let alone within Facebook.

The one key thing to remember is that you MUST give the DIV that contains the absolute positioned container the “position: relative” rule.
