Security Error #2176 when calling a post function after a callback (in Facebook.api...)

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. create an empty album:
_albumMessage = String(" ");
_albumName = String(" ");
var params : Object = {message:_albumMessage, name:_albumName};
Facebook.api('/me/albums', onEmptyAlbumCreation, params, "post");

2. after getting the id i want to upload pictures into the empty album
var bitmapData : BitmapData = _images[_uploadedPhotoNum];
_photoMessage = "message_" + _uploadedPhotoNum;
_photoFilename = "filename_" + _uploadedPhotoNum;

var params : Object = {image:bitmapData, fileName:_photoFilename};
Facebook.api(_albumID + "/photos", onSaveToPhotoAlbumComplete, params, "post");

3. error occurs.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
FacebookDesktop works. Facebook.api calls are failing.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
OS X, Flash 10, api 1.6

That error means that whatever Facebook.api call you're making in 
createPhotoStream() needs to be called with user interaction...like a user 
clicking a button.

thanks for your reply. i know what the error means. i just need to call actions 
without user interaction. did anyone figure out how to deal with that?

I doubt you can get around making your call without user interaction. They 
enforce user interaction so applications can't spam users.
