Upcoming Adobe Flash Player update could break Facebook apps

Facebook’s Pete Bratach posted a note tonight regarding a recent notice from the Adobe Flash team that an upcoming April update to the Flash Player could break many Facebook applications. The security update significantly affects cross-domain functionality and could affect a large number of apps that use Flash.

Specifically, if any of the following apply to your app, you will be affected by the update:

  • You use sockets or XMLSockets, regardless of the domain to which you are connecting
  • You use addRequestHeader or URLRequest.requestHeaders
