Chapter 10. STEP 10: Lobby Applications

This chapter will focus on building Macromedia Flash Communication Server MX Lobby applications. Lobby applications, like controller and subscriber applications, provide at least two interfaces for the user . The first interface is the lobby, which provides a space for all users to culminate. The room interface allows the same users to filter conversations and exchanges into a focused environment. This is achieved using multiple instances of an application.

Using multiple application instances with a simple Lobby application will complete your Flash Communication Server foundation. You will be introduced to the RoomList UI component in this chapter as a building block for building Lobby applications.
