chatmx
chatmx is a web-based real-time chat system written in Flash. It allows users to log into a chat room and chat with other users. The client has the ability to send messages with attributes and coloring, so it is a rich-chat experience. The client and server applications communicate by passing XML packets with commands and data between eachother.
Update - February 17, 2008
The chatmx preview is not operational for the time being because my development server is being revamped with a fresh Linux installation.
The accompanying server, chatmx-server, has been completely re-written in Version 3. It is now a fully multithreaded Java application capable of handling many more clients than its Perl predecessor in Version 2. In version 3.1, the server has the ability to run as a system service under Windows NT / 2K / XP.
The source code to the chatmx client is not available at this time, however I hope to release a free, non-commercial version to use on your own website in the future. There are still some bugs that need to be worked out.
