We'd like to use ALCS in some cases where the participants aren't "people" but are software "bots", particularly for chat activities.  Is there an API (Java or REST-ful) that can be used to accomplish something like this?Thanks,Rick

Hi, Hironmay.It's probably not necessary to switch SharedID's but it wasn't entirely clear when/why/what SharedID's did, so I erred on the side of safety...can you explain the usage/purpose of SharedID's?To support switching SharedID's (if it is something you want to do), you can set the model to "n...

You might also want to take a look at the Degrafa framework.It has some very rich capabilities for declarative graphics thatcould be a nice foundation for an extended whiteboard (and one thatcould theoretically be easily serializable, in its native MXMLform).

Has anyone explored a "snapshot" approach? Is there an easyway to get a handle to the underlying bitmap of a Flex UIComponentif "cacheasbitmap" is set to true?

Ditto on the need for an internally hosted solution forsecurity, availability, and volume/performance reasons.

Happy to help. While you're in there looking at theSimpleChat pod code, I'd recommend styling it such that all of theUI components use the same font face/size by default. I alsoattached an extended version of SimpleChat that includes an"unsubscribe" method that properly cleans up a subscription in a...

Hi. In my application, if I attempt to set thehistoryFontSize property in the MXML tag for the ExtendedChatPodcomponent, it will throw an error on initialization. If I set theproperty via AS at some later point, it works fine. Here's theerror thrown:TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property o...

Hi, Nigel.I had already implemented a login process similar to what youdescribe (and borrowed liberally from the sample code), but what Iwas more interested in was how I can create a second user accountso that I can log in as a test account other than my developeraccount.Thanks, and happy new year!R...

Hi, Nigel.I know this is something the Genesis team at Adobe would liketo have, too... :)I definitely think screen sharing is of value, but perhapsjust allowing the rendered content of a Flash/Flex graphics contextto be shared would be cool (sort of a "super whiteboard" or "sharedcanvas"). Maybe you...

I was wondering if there were any plans/considerations forproviding server-side bridges into other IM and VOIPinfrastructure(s). I can see plenty of value to this, both hostedan on-premise. A WHOLE lot of value, actually, particularly whencombined with the UI you're building.Use cases would be being...
