Hi there, I’m new to flash MX. Needed anybody who has any experience in building a multiple chat client using flash MX to help with some function syntax. cld pay.

Here’s a link to one:

Thank you Electron geek.

That’s similar to what we want to do. only that i’ve got an impossible deadline :wink: nothing new there. Being new to MX i’m slow with getting the exact sytax etc. Any help will be appreciated.

Basically for every user you click in the userlist a new chat window is created, by duplicating the movie clip. The problem is, i have a textfield,where the chat content is shown and i have attached a scrollbar to it. The scroll bar is not working when i duplicate the movie clip in runtime.

And another thing the client wants is to blink the windowTop(like in msn) when a new message arrives.

Thanks and Regards

Hey ElectronGeek,

Have you tried out any of the chat rooms on that site yourself?

:elderly:

I would like to just add a little something here… That site erks me with its constant reloading even when its not active.

Never tried it, may at some time (working on a flash site now that has these exact forums in it, would be interesting to make a flash interface to these… anyways…) but I would think that using the setInterval command to do a database query to see if any new message was posted then reloading it would be better than a coanstant reloading for no reason.

Nope, I’ve never tried it out myself, I got that link by doing a search on Google. =) There was a really good chat client link posted awhile back in the tutorial section, but it’s no longer here. :smirk:

Scrolling problems in a flash MX chat client… i have a textfield,where the chat content is shown and i have attached a scrollbar to it. The scroll bar is not working when i duplicate the movie clip in runtime.

Any Ideas what could be wrong? Need urgent help.

Geez… Flash Chat Rooms have been coming to be incredibly popular I see… Interesting :sure:

I wonder if a tutorial on creating one while I create one would be useful :wink:

Then again I can’t even get 15 voxels to show up correctly… GAH!

A tutorial would be great!! I have a mysql data base and php etc on my hosting and would love to learn to do something like that on my site.
It would be a good task for that K-team threads ive been reading.

Cheers :elderly:

cough… Crap… I don’t use mySQL…

Nevermind on tutorials… I use my own databse so that wouldn’t be helpful would it? hehe
