Starting with facebook-actionscript-api
For starters, kudos to Daniel Dura. The examples were easy to get running in Flex 4.
Now the criticisms.
1. XML instead of AMF? please, i thought Adobe might be offering something special here. Its basically wrapper objects to consume the current facebook api webservices.
2. Logging in is nasty. login() then validatelogin()? alot of overhead wasted in 2 calls here.
3. Architecture sucks. I dont like all the casting of the event.data property. It would have been nicer if there was a proper delegate layer provider.
Its going to be a little difficult especially with the lack of useful documentation but atleast they have given us something to start with.
It will be interesting to see how this library grows as the facebook api grows.
