Thanks Ulf and Ernest,
That's exactly what I was after, just a start so I know where to look.
Thanks again

Thanks a lot for your reply Ulf.

>> The alternative would be to have the applet call a proxy on your server that does the interaction with FB, and which then returns the images to the applet over HTTP.

This sounds decent to me but I have very little experience with this sort of thing. I dont know what you mean by proxy in this sense. Can you tell what sort of technology you are talking about here and I will investigate it further in tutorials, other forums etc.

Thanks a lot,

Hi,
It is not a joke.
Look at this example of an online app that allows the user to use photos from their Facebook account:
http://sendables.jibjab.com/personalize/251/disco?category_id=9
If you click on 'Get Started', you have the option of importing some photos from your Facebook account.
So, this sort of thing can be done, but maybe not in an applet. If not, does anyone have a suggestion as to how it can be done or how it is done in that link?
I would like to use an applet because my application logic is in Java, but maybe my list of URLs can be fed into the applet from some external code that has got them.

Any ideas,
Thanks a lot

Hi,
I have made an applet that does some processing with a list of source images and displays the results. It works fine for the list of 20 images that I have inside my applet jar, but I would like to get these images from the internet.
Specifically from Facebook. I would like that the user comes to my applet and enters their name and password into my applet and then they will see a thumbnail list of all their facebook freinds.
Now, I know how to display an image in my applet given its URL and I know how to do the processing that I want to do but I dont know how to do the Facebook stuff.

So I suppose the method I would like to implement inside my applet would be something like this:



Do people think this is possible and can anyone point me in the right direction of where to start researching how to do this.

Thanks a lot,
