I got the fix for this in now. :) Plus I fixed the whisper-deselect
problem... wow that was a holy nightmare ... you cant just use
object.setSelectedIndex(-1) or (null) as would be logical for JavaScript --
Flash either ignores the statement or chokes... turns out the only way to
deselect an item in the list box is to empty the list box and rebuild all
the entries <blech>... in any event, it's fixed now...

I also added to the demo an example of how to include navigation element(s)
so that users may move between rooms and linking on the fly, so
http://mydomain.com or www.mydomain.com or [EMAIL PROTECTED] will all be
converted into links when a message is sent... this is an optional feature
you can turn off... There's a new attribute also called opMode which is
intended to allow the app to be moded to work in a particular way, such as
"speed" which would optimize for speed at the possible expense of certain
other things ... at the moment it's just at the expense of some entries in
the history not having proper line-breaks the way they should... Preserving
the line-breaks requires slightly more work from CF server on each refresh.

Anyway, I'm rambling now... :)

I hope everyone enjoys the chat... Please let me know if you have any
feature suggestions or if you have any problems with it.

p.s. What were you not sure was healthy? I'm guessing it wasn't changing the
look and feel. :)
