Flash Avatar Chat v1.0 is a powerful script programmed with Flash Actionscript 3.0, PHP and MySQL, allowing users to connect to an online virtual chat room and move around with an animated avatar graphic using the mouse or the keyboard arrow keys. Other users connected to the virtual chat room are visualized as avatars as well and when they move around the chat room, everyone can see the movement in real time. Users can form groups or control the nicest spots (a.k.a. Real-Estate) in the virtual chat room. With some creativity, many kinds of scenarios are possible.
Users can chose an avatar graphic from a predefined selection screen or upload their own picture (JPG, GIF , transparent PNG ) up to 3.0 MBs in size. The picture will be processed by the avatar chat script on the server and resized down to a +/- 5 KB thumbnail automatically.
The design of the Flash avatar chat room as well as the avatars are completely customizable. With basic Adobe Flash CS3 + knowledge, you can easily switch out the background image and replace the included avatar graphics with your own ones to create a new chat room design.
The avatar chat is coded with PHP , MySQL and Actionscript 3.0. Included are all the source code files ( Flash CS3 + .FLA and .PHP ) and manual tutorial (PDF) with step by step instructions for installing the chat on your web server. This chat works as stand-alone website or can be inserted into existing Flash websites via AS3 .
