Forum ‹ Sitebox ‹ parameters that are sent to the swf

[RastaRalle]

hi!
I'm currently planning to make a sitebox facebook game, and I have some general questions, I'd like to ask, before I start.
Is there anywhere a list of all parameters, that are passed to the swf?
For example, there is the post_ids parameter. There are post_ids, if a user really invited friends. Do I have to set this parameter explicitly somewhere, or is this done by facebook automatically?
Are there more parameters of this type?
My second question is, if a user sends a request to another user, but no invitation, but something like: "Can you help me by sending me an apple". Then, when the user gets this request and clicks on "accept", he'll be redirected to the canvas_url. So, is there something like a "request_querystring", that is passed to my swf or do I have to manage this by myself?
Because I have to read the request object out and reward the user that sent the request.

I hope you understand what I mean, because if I read this text, I don't

http://playerio.com/documentation/sitebox/templates#swf
"It passes all template variables into the Flash file as FlashVars, so everything that’s available to the template is available inside Flash."
So, what's in the template?
http://playerio.com/documentation/siteb ... _variables
Put that tag on your page to see what's in the template and also inside flash.

As long as you use the swf tag to include your flash file in the template, all querystring parameters and similar will be automatically passed into your flash file as well. If you don't use the swf tag, you'll have to pass in all flashvars from the template yourself.

hey!
I knew that this "printvariables" tag exists, but I didn't think of using it this way
okay, so I really have to switch to a paid account before I even started coding my game, because otherwise I'm not able to see which variables are passed to the template. or better said, I don't know how they are named...
Am I right with this?
