Introduction
We call it a module, but actually it's just a special chat client.
It's similar to the 123 Flash Chat standard client because it communicates with the 123 Flash Chat server. In this mini chat client, you can also send and receive messages.
It's different to the standard client because it's smaller(both in dimension and in filesize: only 13kb) and fast. It doesn't have to load anything: neither client.xml, skin files or language files.
Remember: to use this chat module you must have already installed the standard version of 123 Flash Chat (whether demo or full version).
Demo
Free usage
This module is FREE.
What you CAN do in HTML code without purchasing this chat module:
- Resize it while retaining width and height proportions.
- Re-direct the SWF to connect to your host and your port instead of 123 Flash Chat main chat server by adding parameters.
- Enable auto-login by adding parameter.
- Enable auto-login-room by adding parameter.
- Skip user enter or exit notification by adding parameter.
We'll explain the parameters later.
tandard flash object tag to insert a banner chat or Pocket PC chat to your webpage:
By editing: width="176" height="208", you can adjust its size.
You'd better retain the proportion of the width and height.
If you have already purchased this chat module( the source code), you can configure everything in "config.as", and you can insert the above standard code to your html, skip all the parameters that follows!
Parameters
As we stated before, by adding parameters to HTML code, you can partially customize the inserted Banner Chat or Pocket PC chat.
1). Add the parameter to where?
In standard code, after "lite_ppc_176_208.swf",add a "?", follow with your parameter string. Like this:
init_host=www.yourhost.com&init_user=abc&init_password=pwd&init_room=1001
2). How to add multiple parameters then?
Each parameter has to be delimited by "&", the full flash object code will be like:
Check the code and you will find that parameters have to be added simultaneously at two places.
3).The parameters list:
lite_ppc_176_208.swf supports following parameters:
| parameter | default value | description |
| init_host | www.123flashchat.com | Host of the chat server, which can be IP address or hostname. By default it's the host value defined in config.as. config.as is included in the chat module source code, which you can get after purchase. If you have already purchased it, edit config.as with text editor, then open lite_ppc_176_208.fla with flash MX 2004 and generate a new SWF file. In this way you can directly call the new lite_ppc_176_208.swf without attaching this parameter "init_host". |
| init_port | 51127 | It must be numerical. Similar with "init_host". If you don't configure it in config.as, you will be connected to the default port. Unless you buy the source code, edit port value in "config.as" with text editor, then open lite_ppc_176_208.fla with flash MX 2004 and generate a new swf file. In this way you can directly call the new lite_ppc_176_208.swf without attaching this parameter "init_port". |
| init_user | | Without the parameters: init_user=username&init_password=password
users will auto login as guest with a random name: "guestXXXX" (under these circumstances, please confirm that you enable guest login in the chat server Admin Panel.) |
| init_password | |
| init_room | 1 | Optional. You will connect to the "defaultRoom" if you don't set this parameter. |
| skip_notify | false | It defines display or ignore notifications of user enter-room and exit-room. By default it's "false", meaning all information will be displayed. By setting it to "true", the notification of other enter-room and exit-room events will be skipped, only keeping one's own enter or exit information. |
| init_key | XH00-YPWS-TI3E-KQLW | Usually you just leave it as default.
This value is equivalent with the siteKey in client.xml, which has to be identical with the site-key value in server configuration. |
