What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Flex 4.5 with Flash Builder 4.5

Mac OS X Version 10.6.8

Please provide any additional information below.

IS the FlashMobile API suppose to work with Flex 4.5 right off the back?

It looks like you're using the Facebook API in your "connectToFBChat" method, 
try switching that to FacebookMobile.
