Mohinish, this application was created with ActionScript 3. Unless I missed something, AS3 is not yet available for FlashLite. Maybe in the future, but right now, it can’t be ported.

Hi,
How about the same application being ported on a mobile using FlashLite? How feasible is that? I am working on a mobile version of a IM client. I am facing issues with FlashLite? I would like to have ur advice on this.

Don, as I stated in previous comments, this project will not work on a webserver without some major changes. I have not tried it myself, and I don’t plan to do it now or in the future.

David,

Off the top of my head, that’s certainly possible. You could change the target of a TocConnection instance to connect to your server instead. On your server, some sort of program or script would be running that could pass your messages to the correct AOL source, and it would pass the responses back to you.

Is there anyway to setup this on my webserver to be used with Flash 9 Player? I want to be able to connect to my website, run the FlashAIM client and connect to AOL from the flash client. Is this possible? If so, how? If not, why not?

Note: To run the AIM client locally, you may need to add its parent folder as a trusted location in the Flash Player Global Security Settings panel. Otherwise, if you create a project in Flex Builder, you can run it in debug mode. I hope that helps anyone who might be having problems.

Abscout, this project is completely incompatible with Flash 8. It uses some exciting new features from the soon-to-be-released Flash 9.

Thanks for your interest, though. I encourage you to come back later this summer after Adobe unleashes the new version.
