Flash/ASP Chat Room

Does anyone know of a good Flash/ASP Chat Room that's easy to mod?

I'm working on a client project and I've seen a few nice chat rooms for instance pipeys has seemed to be the best so far

check it out -here (http://devscripts.com/viewscript.php?sId=591)

Depends on what you are looking for in a chat app, do you want speed? Features? Is Private Messaging important to you? I think this one has an obvious delay in sending and receiving messages. I wonder if it uses HTTP request protocol to retrieve messages or if it uses a server push like sockets.

Sorry bout cross posting - I'm just in a hurry to get this out -

Really I'm just looking for and easily cusomizable chat room that has most of the cool little features - one I don't really have to debug that much.

one of the bugs in this app however is once you close the window without loggin out - the chat room won't let you log back in - it doesn't time out and you can't get back in until the admin of the chat app kicks you out of the chat -

I was hoping someone would know of a free app to download or possible one to purchase with a license.

A month or so ago Freddycodes pointed me twords pat server www.php-tools.net. It's free, but its complicated. I still haven't figured out how to get it to work with flash. From what I've gotten after doing so research chat rooms and the like are very complicated for anyone that's not a realy good programmer. Not to discourage you or anything, it's not hard to be better then me at codeing:D , but it is a complicated project.

Come on now, its so easy, you have certian events that happen. A socket connection happens and fires the onCOnnect event. A message is sent and the onReceieve event fires, I mean I am drunk now but it isreally simple, heres a peek at the code.

Well In theory it's encreably simple. But your code is a lot cleaner the Patservers. The hardest thing to figure out in code is the XML protocol that they have. Did you just send everything via PHP or did you use XML?
