Do you have to use sitebox to get a game on facebook or can you just use playerio?

[Benjaminsen]

No, all Player.IO services are build such that they are optional to use.

If you create your own Facebook canvas application you can simply parse your OAuth token to flash as a flashvar, then use playerio.quickconnect.facebookOAuthConnect to authenticate the user towards Player.IO

Any examples of this being done? Or maybe point me in the direction of finding the solution?

[Henrik]

The solution to what?

To get your game on facebook you need to set up a Facebook app on Facebook, you need to host your app someplace, and you need to mark up the page containing your game with everything that's needed for it to be a Facebook app and grab data from Facebook, authenticate users, etc.

Info on how to do that should be available over at the Facebook developers site: http://developers.facebook.com/docs/guides/canvas/
