Facebook Video Streaming in OpenSpace

[ytonthemove]

Hi, everyone. I have an MMO game planusing OpenSpace. In this game, I need to playback facebook video on some UI control. I have little background using actionscript, Flash or Flex. But I do have some C,C++ experience. Is this easily achievable in Flex or Flash (OpenSpace)? My greatest appreciation to anyone who can shine some light on this.

Yes, you can achieve this, but you will need some expertise in Flash and AS3.

Thanx very much bax. So I will have to learn Flash & CS3 first. Then perhaps the AS wrapper for Facebook. Last but not least OpenSpace + SFS API. And all these are action script based hence I wouldn't need to learn another language other than AS. Am I correct to say that?

[Bax]

Yes, correct.

One more question:o . Should I build this project using Flash CS5 or Flash Builder? This confused me a little bit. Which one is easier to start with?

[Bax]

If you have no experience with Flash and ActionScript3, my suggestion is that you start with Flash Builder, as it can help coding.

Great. Thank you so much for pointing me to the right direction!
