I was expecting to see a play button over the image, and the SWF to play inside the wall stream upon click, but it doesn't seem to work. would you be able to see what I'm doing wrong? http://labs.tribalddb.nl/test/fbswftest/ Hi,

If it's just using meta tags at the top of an html page, you could easily get the Flash Platform Distribution Service to handle your actual sharing. No need to cook up a specific facebook solution - if the meta tags work the way I understand them to, then you can share a link to your HTML container page and if someone shares to Twitter it's just a URL whereas if someone shares to Facebook it's an embedded .swf. Maybe. Going to have to play with this a bit. So you are always sharing an actual page…
