It looks like you are using the properties named specifically for the Facebook feed dialog. Do you know if I can post a picture this way with a local filename which I have already saved on on the phone? I take a picture with the camera and know where it is saved and the filename. I’m not sure if I can set the source to be the file somehow.
Thanks,
Warren

Hi Warren, I’m not sure. Looking at the dialog properties on FB page, it doesn’t look like you’d be able to directly upload a photo from your device to a friend’s feed using feed dialog:

I could be wrong… but it almost feels like you may need to use some sort of intermediary (like uploading a saved photo to your web server, and use the URL for that uploaded photo to be added to the dialog? – rather convoluted. There may very well be a better way to do it, but I have not needed to do it, so I haven’t really looked into it myself.

P.S. That said, if I were you, I’d experiment and see if the path to a file name on your device (rather than the URL to an image) would do the job. [import]uid: 67217 topic_id: 34847 reply_id: 141570[/import]
I tried different variations to post a local file and could not get it to work. I read where people got this to work coding it in other apps and even the Facebook app lets you upload a picture from your phone.
Has anyone does this using the Facebook.showDialog() method? If so, can you post an example?
Thanks!!
