i need a chat service i can embed in my website.....

[Gato Moteado]

.....i want it to appear as a size i determine on my webpage and i don't want to require people to register or logon. they should be given a random name like "chat user 05" or whatever. it should be a private room that only people browsing the website will have access to.

anyone know of any service like this?

thanks.

1. I looked for some a few years ago

and didn't really have much luck, but most of them were Flash based, so you might add that term to your Google. I found one or two that I've never used, but looks like what you're after:

http://www.tufat.com/s_flash_chat_chatroom.htm -- I've used one similar to this in the past, but didn't get it working to my satisfaction. I don't think it was this product, and, of course, technology has come a long way in the 4 or 5 years since I looked at this. This one is $5.

http://www.123flashchat.com/ This one is similar, but expensive ($199 for 50 user license, yikes!)

I'm sure there are plenty out there, you'll just need a lot of trial and error. I'm sure there were several other components that I've downloaded in the past that were similar, so I'll keeping rooting around and see what I can find.

Good luck!
