I want to put a little notification icon in my flash animation that displays if I am online or not, with also the ability for a user to maybe click the icon and engage in a MSN Messenger discussion with me. Has anyone seen this done in Flash?
Google provides api’s for such things as connecting to it applicationa nd finding out status and all…

Intresting, so thats how to do it in HTML. If only I knew enough about ActionScript to make that work in Flash 
If microsoft provides a http service to that then flash can do it… plus you can always have flash helped by php or other backend scripts

True, but your assumeing I know enough about any form of programming to do that. I’m a graphic designer, I make prettty pitcures… you might as well be asking me to write a poem in Chinese to write code in ActionScript. :crying:
