guys, i need help… i’m trying to make a flash messaging system for my website. instead of having an inbox/sentbox, you have a “convo box”, that, when you enter, has the icons of all the members you have a conversation with. clicking on any conversation will open the convo in a window, very similar to any instant messaging program, with the past three days conversations saved in the window where you could scroll up and read. what is the best way, and where could i learn how to accopmlish the following:
store/load past convos
automatically delete convos older than 3 days (to save server space)
send and receive messages real-time or real-time-ish, without tying up server
notify user that a message has been recieved
thanks a ton,
omnislant
