http://fr-fr.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=305178346234282&id=101308941002

And the video which i want to share is here on my website :

It is trying to load – http://medias.last-video.com/videoold.php?id=3412, but this is a php file, not a swf file.

And the SWF file that is used on – http://medias.last-video.com/videoold.php?id=3412 is versions 3.16! Way too old for Facebook integration!

Well its an old version. And I inspected the element on your Facebook page, and you are loading a php file but then calling it a type shockwave flash, so if you right click it, it says movie not loaded, so there you go.

Thanks Ethan for your recommendation. I change the code now it's not a php file and you can see the change here https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=455234651169052&id=101308941002

But the problem is still here, the video plays only in the wall of a member not in the actuality and the fan page. I don't understand why and if you test with Chrome and IE it's not working.

Thanks

Now if I click the video thumbs, they just open your site in new links, it doesn’t open up anything inside of FB.

I know but you are trying to do something we can’t officially support (old player in Facebook). Sorry.

Yes I know that they got it working with 3.16, but this isn’t an official use case that we have even tested here. Stop asking about 3.16 support in Facebook, we aren’t going to troubleshoot it.
