Is there a way to download a facebook application ? - Jake - 12-23-2012 02:20 AM

I don't mean download the official fb application for your smartphone. I mean downloading one of those flash games, brand competitions

I need to download this app, and view the source code.

Any HELP ?

It's possible to emulate the Facebook site, offline, and run the program. However, viewing the source code is another matter. So far I haven't been able to do that.

Normally, computer source code is compiled with a compiler that understands that code, and translates and creates an executable file from that code. It's not always easy to "decompile it" and reverse the process, and turn executable code back into source code.

some applications do have other versions that you can use such as iPhone or android versions but in general you can't as they are web based apps.
