UI Oauth versus Login

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. The Facebook object is properly initialized (Facebook.init) and finds that 
the current machine is not logged in.

2. I try using the Facebook.ui call for the "oauth" protocol, which looks as 
such: 
Facebook.ui("oauth",data,redirectFunction,"iframe");

3. The proper UI iframe window appears, but never loads - I simply get an 
endless loading animation, not even an error.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
I expect to see the same login window that can be summoned using 
Facebook.login, only within the javascript iframe provided by Facebook.UI

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
I'm using the Flash CS5 IDE, on a Mac, but I've tested on PC and on multiple 
browsers and Facebook still does not load.

Please provide any additional information below.
Facebook.login works perfectly, but the window appears in a popup, and I cannot 
control its position, resulting in slightly jarring visual feedback. The 
Facebook.ui iframe Javascript window always appears sleek and centered, but the 
oauth protocol doesn't seem to work with the current Facebook.UI.

Could the problem be that the data object I'm submitting is missing a field? 
I'm submitting the following data object:
var data:Object = {method: 'oauth',
               client_id: APP_ID,
               redirect_uri: redirectURI,
               scope: permissionsRequested};

Or is Facebook.UI simply not going to support the iFrame oauth protocol?

It seems that "iframe" display oauth dialogs are not supported on Facebook, so 
they cannot be supported in the api.

So it is! Indeed it is so.
This is a shame, but indeed not a fault of the API.
I stand corrected.
