\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Using the Papervision<\/a> library, and the Graph API<\/a> Facebook \u00a0library, I had the idea to build a 3D wall of images from these cool components over at FlashLoaded<\/a>. I considered using their component, but decided to build my own. I had already built a 3D Carousel as part of my portfolio interface, and thought, well, a \u00a03D Wall is just a bunch of carousels on top of each other… SO I revisited my old carousel and build it up to the wall.<\/p>\n

This is turning into a long term side project, and I’m learning along the way. I really like the way FaceBook setup their FQL language<\/a>, and so far I have been using a few tables along with FQL Multiqueries. This allows my app to do several SQL-type (FQL ) queries in one shot and get back the data in one object.<\/p>\n

Some sample FQL calls I’m using:<\/p>\n

Get data about the user’s friends:
\nSELECT uid, name, pic,status FROM user WHERE uid IN (SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1 = me()) LIMIT 1000<\/code>
\nGet Status\/Post messages from each user ( depending on how recent in your Stream )
\nSELECT source_id,message, created_time FROM stream WHERE source_id IN (SELECT uid2 FROM friend WHERE uid1 \u00a0= me()) LIMIT 1000<\/code>
\nWhat’s great is that these calls are AS3 native within the api ( but really use JavaScript and JSON externally). There are quite a few tables of data so just imagine the apps you\u00a0could\u00a0make…<\/p>\n

As of 4\/18\/2011, I have 57 users on this app, 20 of them are Facebook friends. Lets see if I can beef it up and make it viral!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
