Flash :: Flash Chat Rooms...

Stupid Question? About Chat Rooms
I am just wondering if it possible to design a multi-user chat room with video/audio capabilties from flahs alone? Or do you need flash media server as well? Even after reading the summary, i am still unsure about what flash media server actually does. I have flash 8 and am starting to learn actionscript, but is this enough?

i have seen several websites with chat rooms i liked and they claimed they were all made in flash.

also, this chat room would be integrated into a website that my friend is designing...i believe he is using asp.net C# as his server database. thanks for the help

How Can I Direct The Right People To The Right Chat Rooms Really Urgent
Hi,

Im trying to create a diary that invites people to a chat room (FMS) at a particular time on a particular date. Making sure that only the invited people end up in the right rooms.

Is there anyway of capturing a server side (FMS) unique ID and then pull it back as so I can then point people who log in, to that chat app using the unique ID?

This one is driving me potty and the project Im working on needs a solution as soon as possible

ANY help with this would be really really appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

Rooms
im currently trying to make a game that has different rooms in it.

i have 2 frames, 2 doors. i have a layer with my character on. and when it hits the door it gets stuck in a loop with the two frames.

does anyone know how to fix this?

[F8] Making Rooms
How do i make my character exit a room. Like make a door to go onto another room? I made this code but it's not working:
if (button_mc.hitTest(_root.player_mc)) {
gotoAndStop(2);

}

I made it like if the player touches the ball it goes to the next frame where there is the other room. But it's not working.

And if there's another way, what is it?

List Of Rooms
Hi,

I have to obtain a list of active rooms in Flash Communication Server. I'm using PHP as server environment and the thing is I'd like to display the list of rooms in HTML not in Flash. For that PHP has to query somehow flash server.
Is there some example for this problem?

Thanks in advance.

Private Rooms
Hi I'm fairly new to FCS but Iknow how to program in Flash and Actionscript.

What I'm trying to build is a private video chat for a Video Game help forum that works like this:

The visitors come to the site, login and are all listed in a waiting room to talk to the Game Guru. He sees them all listed there. When he's ready, he clicks on a member in the room and a new window pops up and he vChats with just that one person privately.

I know how to change the interface based on the user name of who is logged in but what I don't know how to do is to make the private room that only the two people are in together and no one else can enter without the password.

I've seen private rooms on other sites but I don't know if this is a built in fuction og FCS or if I have to build it.

Dynamic Rooms
Hi there! i would like to create a dynamic rooms based on the number of registered users.. i mean , each member has a own room but the swf file will still be the same only the video, people chat and chat messages are unique.
and also they all share the same rtmp. is it possible?

thanks

Doors To Other Rooms.
Hi, Im newbie with the flash, but Im using ActionScript 2.0, and I have a moving character. Im training with making a little game, but I can't make the character to move to other rooms with doors. Im making system like when character are under the invicible object and down-key is pressed down, the character will move to another frame (in this case frame 2). I was make a system, and I was set the "door" to button, but this system wasn't work:
(This is the door's action)
onClipEvent(enterFrame){
if (Key.isDown(Key.SPACE)) {
if(this.hitTest(_root.man)){
gotoAndStop(2)
}
}
}

And I know, it's for movie clip. Then I was make a new code for the door:

(This is the door's action)
on (keyPress "<Down>") {
if(this.hitTest(_root.man)){
gotoAndStop(2)
}
}

And that doesn't give me a error, but I can move with that code to other frame when I wasn't under the door object, and I wan't to make like when im under the door, the _root.man will go to other room.

I hope somebody can tell me how to make like what im searching: when the man is under/over the "button" door, and key down are pressed down the frame will change to frame 2.

Sorry my bad english, but I living in Finland, and I was learn the english in school '

Help With My Chat Application...? Maybe Thisll Help Others Wanting A Chat Too
hi i couldnt work out how to simply make my own chat... i just couldnt get my head around all the wierd .asp etc.
so i found a neat little code for this miniture live board (called qboard) that has no ads or anything. it works basic - from a html sense of the word.
1 text table for your name.
1 for your email/url (which when your nickname is clicked on the board itll go there).
1 text table for your message.
1 submit/send button .
and above all that an iframe which you get to see the converstaion on.

what i want to do is use the information about all those textframes in a flash file so it can suit my webpages look. rather than the tacky buttons html provides etc.

the source is below. BUT NOTE:
this is the source for the chat I have set up. if you use it DIRECTLY on your page you will be using my chat which means you will get my users messages etc. IF you wantt to have your own... simply get it at qboard.org

Sound Loop-Other Rooms Could't Help
Hi

I posted this in another room, but absolutely nobody, could help me out!

I am having difficulty figuring this one out.

I have a soundclip imported into Flash and am trying to use scripting
to make it loop.

Can anybody help me out?

Thanks

[F8] Dealing With Doors&new Rooms
Greetings, FlashKit newbie with a question here- possibly more relative to design than coding.
Picture a game like Rolling Thunder, except that when you open a door, you actually enter a new room. So every level has say, 30 rooms or something, and each room is unique. I've been trying something like this with my game, but I'm having trouble with the theory behind it.

Check it out to see what I mean.
http://www.k5.dion.ne.jp/~ydjapan/gamer/nexus.html

The game uses a mixture of large tiles for the main background, and smaller tiles to represent a doors & other background objects. I'm not using a GotoAndStop engine (guess that was my first mistake) but one of my own invention and I've kind of hit a brick wall trying to figure how to give each door movie a unique <i>tag</i> to identify which room is behind it.

I'd be grateful anyone got any code I could see, or are there any prototype fla's out there that demonstrate the design behind implementing say, a house with a few different explorable rooms in it? If I can't figure it all out I'll elaborate more on the problem later. I'm a bit reluctant to post the swf on a public forum, but if anyone thinks they might be able to rectify it I'll be more than happy to send it to them by pm. Thanks in advance!

Inventory Status In Multiple Rooms Without _global?
Hi, I have been making a simple room-escape game (this is my first attempt at flash) and I have been having very good luck with it.

By simple I mean that there are three(4?) items to collect in two different scenes (you collect the first two items and then combine them to make another which helps you get the last. - I have my inventory as a set of boxes on the right of the screen, and in them I have images of all four buttons, and when the game starts they are set as 'visible = false;' which works great. But I can't figure out how to make it so when I collect an object in the first scene the second scene can recognize it and make that object visible. I figured I would set a global variable recognizable from all scenes that is just 0 or 1 based on whether each item was found.. but I'm using CS3 so _global.itemfound doesn't work.. I've read a dozen threads and a few tutorials on packages and classes and public/static variables, but I just can't do it.. I have my inventory.as currently looking like
ActionScript Code:
package game {
public class inventory {
public var stringStatus = 0;
}
}
(It's in folder game and Flash is able to read the files fine from the folder)

and in my actionpanel I have
ActionScript Code:
import game.inventory;
if(game.inventory.stringStatus == 0){
string2_btn.visible = false;
}
//and then later I have:
function stringclick(event:MouseEvent):void {
string1_mc.visible = false;
string2_btn.visible = true;
game.inventory.stringStatus = 1;
}

The game works perfectly if I leave out all the code from the package, so I just need help with this code (or if there's a better code to use) to fetch/reset the variable so each scene knows the same thing.

Just for information, the error I get says: 1119: Access of possibly undefined property visited through a reference with static type Class.

Creating Audio Communications With Seperate Rooms
I have created a netconnection with a couple of different rooms. The room "OP" has one other person in that room ready to play the stream when the publisher starts inputting the stream. This works fine and the other person is able to play the stream with no problem....the issue is that because the person publishing the stream is also in that room the publisher also hears the stream he is publishing in his own headset as the other person hears it. Any ideas on how I can publish this audio stream to this particular room and only the intended person in that room can play the stream and the sender doesn't hear his own voice coming through his headset ???

Can Somebody Help Me I Need Chat In Flash

Or does anyone has this Flash already ?

Flash Chat
Anyone willing to help with a chat demo?

You will need PHP support on your site as well as a mySQL database. This is a tutorial I am looking into that is a bit advanced for me. It will allow for real time multi user interactivity in a chat and could be a "game server' as well, although it would be slow for graphical intense games. I will probably look into an XML socket connection eventually, but I would like to explore the possibilities of HTTP multi user interactivity first. If your interested, post a reply and I'll set up a download fla of this.

Asp + Flash = Chat ---> Xml
Hi all flashing people,

I made a chatprogram in flash using a database and 3 asp pages. But everytime I test it with other people they tell me it is too slow.
What I do is I have got two textfields one to insert your message and one to see all the posted messages. There is a movieclip in the swf that loops all the time and reloads the asp page after a few seconds. This works fine but with a delay of 3 seconds. I think this is because of the asp page using a database etc. etc.
Now my question is: is it possible to write the message of an user into an xml document instead of a database? I don't know a lot of xml, so I really don't have an idea.

Thanks all.

Flash Chat Help Please
Hi,

Flash Chat application URL: http://www.backpackerworld.com/chat_room/

I am developing a Flash Chat application. It used XML object to send a HTTP
request to IIS Server every 3-5 seconds, then IIS server send back data
about message, user list in XML format.

It run perfectly in Windows 2000. I leave the chat room running in Windows
2000 in hours without any problems.

However, it freezes a frame in Windows 98 after about 30 minutes. The
freezed frame is in the "chat message" movie clip (the textarea under
"logged in as:") . This movie clip is set to use XML object to send HTTP
request to IIS Server. Because it freezes a frame in this movie clip,
therefore, it could not send any HTTP request to IIS server. So it could not
receive any messages or any data or could not update the user list. Chat
application basicly dead after a while. User has to close the browser and
open it again to be able to chat.

Have anyone got any similar problems when using XML object in Windows 98
operating system?

Any helps/comments would be appreciate, my email address is
