At Paladin we use Prime31's plugins to great success, however they are for iOS and Android only. This tutorial teaches how to connect your web-game.

And thanks, fixed the obvious typo

Hi!

I have a question about integrating of unity in facebook. We make a fb game. But there is a problem with its render layer.
IE: All the fb popups (like sharing) and for example notification are rendered behind the game.
Google Chrome: The fb popups are rendered properly over the game. But the notifications part is still behind the game.
Firefox: Everything works fine.




(sorry for deforming the game, but it isnt public yet)

On the first shot u can see the share popup is behind the game. The second show the problem of the notifications.

Do u know how can I fix it?

Thats a problem with transparency, and sadly there is no real good cross-browser way to get around it. There's several other people having the same issues.

For now, if possible, you can hide your game (by setting the element outside the screen e.g. style.left='-10000px'; ) whenever you want to show anything. Perhaps in the future when you can export your unity game as flash it will be possible, since that does support transparency and HTML on top of flash.
