Welcome to our new series that will cover the techniques necessary to create advanced Facebook applications that fully utilize the Flash, PHP and the Facebook API. This is the first article of the series. Please note that every article is not independent and in order to understand, let's say article 3, you must read article 1 and 2 etc.

As we all know life is much more colorful with friends, Facebook it's the best example on the internet for this case. Its even more colorful when you can use the Facebook API to create applications on that platform. Using Flash, PHP and the FB API we can utilize ActionScript OOP features to make the applications perform better then with standard FBML. I'm not trying to say here that FBML is bad, no, this series will try to teach how implement the existing knowledge of Flash into the Facebook application platform. Take a quick look here at my app that uses ActionScript 3.0, PHP and Google Maps. The problem with those technologies is that the knowledge is scattered through the web and you need a lot of patience to assemble those pieces. Fortunately you have me who did a lot of hard work and I will share my experience for you.
