Question

Adding chat to FMIS webcam braodcasts...how do I do it?

Hello all,

Please excuse me if this has been addressed before. I would like to know how to add chat to webcam broadcasts. The details are as follows:

The webcam broadcast is outgoing audio and video, not two way (can to cam) although that may not matter.

People viewing the webcam broadcast can type text via a chat box with the person doing the webcam broadcast, that person can also type back to the viewers if they wish.

Ideally, private chat would be nice between the viewers and the person in the webcam broadcast, but not between viewers.

Ideally, all viewers' comments appear in a main chat window with the responses form the person in the webcam broadcast.

How would this be implemented in FMIS 3.5?

Many thanks in advance for your help!

Sincerely,

wordman

    Writing a chat app isn't as hard as it could be. Here's a tutorial on how to build a chat app in AS2. If you work in AS3 it's not hard to port over and there are other tutorials there that cover AS3 which should help you get to where you want.
