FB.login with incorrect redirect

I'm using flash GrahpAPI_web sdk which is a as3 flash extension the communicate with the Javascript SDK.

Regardless, I'm trying to get the oauth dialog to show up as a popup, as popup's. When I run the FB.init followed by FB.login call's, the resulting oauth URL includes a redirect that I didn't not specify, nor can I see clearly how to specify it.

Here's a friend view of the oauth URL

https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth
api_key=<APP_ID>
app_id=<APP_ID>
client_id=<APP_ID>
display=popup
domain=app.local.MYAPP.com
locale=en_US&origin=1
redirect_uri=http://static.ak.facebook.com/connect/xd_arbiter.php?version=8#cb=f35f1a383cdde0a
origin=http%3A%2F%=app.local.MYAPP.com%2Ff38af6b0241d006
domain==app.local.MYAPP.com
relation=opener
frame=fc22754c0e4d
response_type=token,signed_request 
scope=read_stream, publish_stream 
sdk=joey

The problem is the redirect_uri which I didn't specify. If I replace with app.local.MYAPP.com, it appears to work correctly.

How can I get FB.login to implement the correct redirect_uri?

Does Facebook login use OAuth?

OAuth2 dominates the industry as there is no other security protocol that comes close to the adoption of OAuth2.

Your redirect URI will typically have the format https://engage-app name.rpxnow.com/facebook/callback. For example, if your Engage app has the name my--test-app, your redirect URI would be https://my-test-app.rpxnow.com/facebook/callback. Show activity on this post.

I had trouble a similar, so I did it a little differently. Maybe something like this will work for you. I used this javascript:

window.location = encodeURI("https://www.facebook.com/dialog/oauth?
    client_id=<APP_ID>
    &redirect_uri=<REDIRECT_URL>
    &response_type=token
    &scope=publish_stream");
