I test ads with Facebook Playable Ads but have problem. Facebook requires: "A single file for playable ad that contains all assets as part of that single HTML file and assets should be data uri compressed. (Javascript, CSS, images, sounds). "

Iād like to know about this, too.
Ok, I tried it a sort of got it to work. The python script didnāt work for me so I had to write my own node script to convert assets to base64 encoded strings. I used the to two files, index.html and main.js provided in the above link and got a hello world example to work.
Running it on our own games gave me errors as the physics engine was having trouble accessing bodies for some reason.
Tried this as well and got the compile.py to work by installing Python 2.7.15.
I have successfuly created and uploaded to Facebook Ads manager my Ad. But it seems that my ad as well as the pure compiled demo project uploaded to Facebook (I needed to add FB click function to be able to upload it) does not render sprites (?).
I am able to see the āhelloā text but neither the green background nor the cocos sprite from the demo is visible in Facebook preview. I do see everything fine if I host the ad for example on my web server (only the html file is needed so it is merged ok).
Has anyone been successful in creating a Facebook Ad with Cocos and actually created a working Ad from it? 
I fixed it, you can check https://github.com/cocos-creator/engine/commit/ada2855dbeb5c2913a4f44d2947854daea9aa3f5
Hello duchieu,
Thank you for your help! Unfortunately I am not sure what I can do with this 
Could you walk me through it?
- I am working on Cocos 1.9.3 since the example facebook Ad project does not work with Cocos 2.0. After building and merging with python script the generated index.html crashes at start in Cocos 2.0.4.
- I have made the changes that you have posted to my locally installed engine version (1.9.3). I did it by editing *.js files in notepad but this seem to have no effect. I am new to Cocos so not sure if this is what I should have done.
- If this is of any help please find attached the one file build of the demo that crashes index_Cocos_1_9_3.zip (325.3 KB)
And the crashing single file version build on 2_0_4 (crashes also while hosted on a simple www server).
index.zip (330.2 KB)
thanks, it worked very well.
iXen, could you post your project somewhere pliz so I could take a look how you did it?
If you only change the file, this not work, because you need compile the cocos2d.
In this page are de instruction.
Maybe if you use all pakage of cocos creator substituting the cocos2d-js-min.js for my file is enough for you, change before you use python script.
I can not send it here.
Edit: I make all this for compile in mac:

does not let me upload files or put links in the forum, any idea of how to share it?
Send you a PM with me email address. Thank you!
Btw. iXen if I understand correctly you have figured out how to use the sample project with Cocos version >2.0. Probably you have modified the build-templates? Maybe you could share this here as well?
I believe this would be a very valuable share so maybe you could post your project on Github?
