GetAlbums always returns empty

[GoogleCodeExporter]

First off, thanks for taking the time to read this - I'm sure you're very busy. 
 I am writing because I am unable to get Album information from Facebook users 
using the AS3 API.  In fact, the Sample apps at 
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/facebook/samples/index.html do not function either. 
 They compile and run, but the album lists are always empty.

For example, running the following code (assuming the session has been 
successfully initialized, logged in, etc) always returns 0:

   var call:FacebookCall = fbook.post(new GetAlbums(fbook.uid));
   call.addEventListener(FacebookEvent.COMPLETE, handleGetAlbumsResponse);
   private function handleGetAlbumsResponse(event:FacebookEvent):void {
      var albumsResponseData:GetAlbumsData = event.data as GetAlbumsData;
      trace("---Album length: "+albumsResponseData.albumCollection.length);
   }

Do you have any thoughts as to why this is happening, even with the Sample 
code?  Thanks in advance!

I guess it happens because Facebook dropped support for this function call and 
the AS3 API isn't upgraded to OpenGraph API yet!

Hi, the problem it's in the permission, For what the albums become not empty, 
the application must get permissions from user, in this case "user_photos". To 
do this, we have to modify the function "grantExtendedPermission" in the class 
Facebook.as, so that:

public function grantExtendedPermission(servidor:String, idKey:String, 
api_key:String, perm:String):void {         
navigateToURL(new 
URLRequest('http://www.facebook.com/connect/uiserver.php?app_id=' + idKey + 
'&next=' + servidor + '&cancel=http://www.facebook.com'+'&api_key='+ api_key 
+'&method=permissions.request&return_session=1&session_version=3&fbconnect=1&can
vas=1&legacy_return=1&perms=' + perm), '_top'), '_blank');
        }

Any Question please post here, thanks (Excuse my english)   :)

if you created a standalone flash app. Why not redirect the user to a Site URL 
to grant the permission under the same facebook application account using the 
graph api facebook. Only do this if your app detect 0 albums from the user. 
Means he/she have not grant the permission.  and will grant the permission from 
a URL Site with the same application account.

for the website - just follow this tutorial using the graph api. and upload.

for the standalone app - just use this fb-as3 api.

New release based of Facebook's Graph API is coming soon.  SDK which this issue 
depends on is no longer supported by Facebook.
