New AS3.0 VideoChat app in progress…

This is a preview of the new VideoChat application being developed at the moment:

This application is more robust and scalable than the previous AS2 version, so it will handle high amounts of simultaneous connections without slow-down or related problems.

Some of the app features will include:

- Room list, create rooms, invite to cam2cam private room, create password-protected rooms.
- Country, age, IP, status are shown on a tool tip when mouse over the user’s nickname.
- Room info tool tip.
- Ignore user (when a user is ignored he/she could not view my video stream).
- Private messages.
- Kick/Ban users.
- Manage rooms.
- watch 5 cams simultaneously.
- Resize live camera streams.
- Show user’s country flag on his/her info.
- VIP stream, user chooses if only VIP/Registered users can watch his/her webcam stream
- XML settings to fit your quality, bit rate, server URL, etc.

More features coming!
