Okay ... so ... the latest news is this:

I've redesigned the chat room to take advantage of the new flashVars
parameter in Flash MX which allows up to 64kb of data to be transferred to
the movie on load without any javascript ( yea! ). I had hoped that this
would circumvent whatever problem we'd been having with Mozilla / Netscape
users not being able to enter the chat room ... Apparently this is not the
case, as I've now tried with 0.9.3 and 1.0 of Mozilla and 6.2 of Netscape.
In all three cases I've fresh-installed the browser, and fresh-installed the
Flash 6 player and have not been able to enter the chat room. None the less,
the new talkontap.swf and coldfusion modules are now running the demo site
at

If anyone has any luck getting into the chat room with Netscape or Mozilla,
please let me know! :)

Other than that, unless someone on the list has an epiphany they can share
with me, my hands are tied. There's no javascript being used, so the only
other thing I can think is that the browser just doesn't like the active-x
control for Flash 6 ... I hear tell that other Flash 6 movies play fine, but
have no clue as to why this one wouldn't.

The latest revision to the chat room is still an improvement, although I
dislike the fact that the flashVars don't seem to be scoped ( or at least,
none of the documentation I've seen has said anything about them being
scoped ) within the ActionScript... but they work and there's nothing I can
do to change the medium.

All forms of feedback gratefully accepted. :)

Hope everyone enjoys the chat! :)
