The Facebook ActionScript API “calling Facebook.Init ()” unexpectedly returns a null session object. What for?

Question

I have a game on Facebook that has been running successfully for almost a year now. This morning it disconnected because my Flash client, which calls facebook-actionscript-api:

Facebook.init (app_id, handleLogin)

..., began to receive a null answer. And no mistakes. The handleLogin () callback is called, function handleLogin (response: Object, fail: Object): void ... but both response and fail are null.

It started a little earlier than 19:00, (19:00) Tuesday 8 / May / 2012 (PDT) - (time in California)

Has anyone seen anything like this?

Answer 1

Yes, we also see the same problem as at midnight last night. We are still not sure about the root cause of the problem. Trying to find out about it using Facebook.

Anyone else get this?

update: It seems like a similar thing is being reported in facebook errors

Answer 2

I know that facebook just turned off offline access from permissions ... maybe you are not requesting it in your login area. I had a problem with messing up my facebook login process, but on Monday.

Answer 3

you can download the temporary fixed API and replace GrapApiWeb_1.8.1.swc

Facebook fixed the bug, so we don’t need to worry about it now. :)
