MSN Messenger lib for adobe air
I took the morning off from work in order to finally finish my actionscript msnlib for adobe air.
It allows you to connect and chat with msn messenger users within adobe air. It uses just ActionScript 3 and the air libs.
Some while ago we were developing a network site where we needed to extract a user’s msn list contacts, so i started reading about the protocol. It’s horrible i may add!
After several hours implementing it in python i stopped and thought that it should be possible to implement with flash/flex and it’s Socket class.
I was no wrong, it was absolutely possible except for one thing. I needed to work with the response headers of a remotely loaded file. Flash neither flex were able to do this so i quickly checked out the air docs and yes! there was it :)
Here is a very short video i prepared demostrating how the login / userlist works. I’ll prepare another one as soon as i can demostrating how the actual “chat” works.
- Do i plan to release the source code?
Absolutely! I don’t know where to host the subversion repo yet. I haven’t found how google code manages licenses.
- Are all the msn messenger features implemented?
No. Only text based features are implemented in this version of the lib.
- Is that my real msn address?
No. It’s a passport account i’m using for testing purposes only.
