Chatting on Jabber With Flash
I've had some early interest (mainly from Jabber developers) in my Flash MX/Jabber Groupchat client. As such I've posted what I have for download here.

Please note that this version is very alpha, and currently serves only as an illustration that chat on Jabber with Flash is very real and very possible. Jabber.org does not accept Flash socket connections. Create an account at theoretic.com or myjabber.net or perhaps your own local server to use this. Currently it only connects to the groupchat on jabber.org. Try joining the jdev room and chatting with some of the Jabber folks in there. Have fun!

Update: This program uses the JabberFlash API as developed by Yannick Connan, with a few modifications that I made. I plan on writing a pure Jabber Groupchat/Conference API that will probably be a little lighter in wieght than this one.
