Bug in photo display blocks (and then editor couldn't recover)

I added a Facebook block with the 'getFriends' operation linked to a User Input block on the Facebook->name field, then I linked that to another Facebook block with 'getPhotoAlbums' based on the userId from the output of the User Input block. Finally I linked this to the Slideshow block and selected the thumbnailUrl and name fields from the second Facebook block.

When previewed this gives a pop-up Silverlight error box:

Silverlight error message

ErrorCode: 2202

ErrorType: RunTimeError

Message: AG_E_RUNTIME_FINDNAME

MethodName: slideImage

I tried it with the PhotoTiles block and this time I got an error box taking over the whole page between the PopFly header and Customize etc footer - a white background and plain black text:

Error:
Error code: 100
Message: Invalid parameter

Next I tried 'Customize' but the entire editor is now trying to display in the single line vertical height level with 'Customize' (now 'Preview') and so I had to navigate away to fix the display (losing any unsaved changes, as the pop-up warned).

Now if the 'Facebook friend photos' project is reopened a Silverlight popup error appears and the editor fails to load. (It gets stuck when creating the background preview and doesn't recover). Only a plain white page results.

I don't know if this is your issue, but I had issues with the following Mashup pattern:

My Custom Block -> outputs an array -> Flickr Block -> outputs a 2-d array -> Any Image Block (Slideshow, Carousel, etc)

I found I had to customize the code for the wireup of the Flickr Block. I described it in my blog here:

JSON Mashup with Popfly
