and also if anyone knows how to use the componant buttons and make them able to hit return to sumbit content. PLEASE TELL =]

thanks,

// users variable "Login name"
var user = user.text;
// Create new XMLSocket object
socket = new XMLSocket();
// Hardcoded connection sequence for now
socket.connect('localhost', 1025);
// Override appropriate functions

socket.onConnect = newConnection;
socket.onClose = endConnection;
function newXML(doc) {
 server += doc.toString()+newline;
 server.scroll = server.maxscroll;
 trace("server.scroll: "+_level0.server.scroll);
