Flex - Avatar Chat (Horror theme)


Here is my last experiment, an Avatar Chat made with Adobe Flex based on the great SmartFox Sever engine.

After logon (automatically for now, but soon I'll include login and avatar choice), you can move your avatar around by clicking the background and chat with other people present in the main room. More rooms will be added soon too!
Chat can be inline only or inline with bubbles. ATM I spent about 4 hours to code this little toy, greatness of Flex!

I've chosen the horror theme because I'm a fan of the Halloween and Friday 13th series to name a few, and because I found these cool icons!

After I'll finish to tune this up with custom login and other minor things I'd like
to release the source code, even if the SmartFox is not free over 20 users.

Here's the live horror avatar chat!

(NOTE: sometimes the swf randomize the same username more than once and you can't login. If that happens hit the refresh button of your browsers!)

Have fun and stay tuned for updates!

First post of a long serie.... I hope!

Hi everybody, this is my very first blog post ever!

I welcome you on my dev box, where I'd like to share my coding experiments.

At work I'm developing some isometric virtual communities in Adobe Flash CS3 and Flex, and at home something less complicated and some games too.

Next days I'm gonna post an avatar chat I'm coding these nights, and I hope to 
see some feedback about it!    

Well, what to say, stay tuned!
