Embedding a Walkie-Talkie Widget

To view the different types of widgets you can embed and to easily copy the code for embedding a widget, please visit: http://www.yackpack.com/walkietalkiewidget.html

This HTML code can be embedded anywhere that isn't subject to certain object restrictions:

Code:
<object classid="clsid:d27cdb6e-ae6d-11cf-96b8-444553540000" codebase="http://fpdownload.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=8,0,0,0" width="220" height="165" id="walkietalkie" align="middle">
<param name="allowScriptAccess" value="always" />
<param name="swLiveConnect" value="true" />
<param name="movie" value="http://www.yackpack.net/yackpack/walkietalkie.swf" />
<param name="quality" value="high" />
<param name="wmode" value="transparent" />
<embed src="http://www.yackpack.net/yackpack/walkietalkie.swf" quality="high" wmode="transparent" width="220" height="165" name="walkietalkie" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="always" swLiveConnect="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" />
</object>

This is what you end up with: Walkie-Talkie Widget.

If you're posting it someplace that's more restrictive about embeds (such as MySpace), you'll need to add a line so that it knows where it lives (this is also necessary to support browsers with Javascript disabled):

Code:
<param name="FlashVars" value="globalchaturl=http://blog.myspace.com/someBlog" />

...and then the same variable is added to the embed tag as well, like:

Code:
<embed src="http://www.yackpack.net/yackpack/walkietalkie.swf" quality="high" wmode="transparent" width="220" height="165" name="walkietalkie" align="middle" allowScriptAccess="always" swLiveConnect="true" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" pluginspage="http://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer" FlashVars="globalchaturl=http://blog.myspace.com/someBlog" />

 

Note the URL is http://blog.myspace.com/someBlog. That line can go anywhere in the params list from the object code above. You can also use that line to override the default behavior -- for example if you want a global chat for an entire site or subsection, you can specify it there and the pages you place the widget on using this code will all use that common chat

To Easily Make Unique Rooms

If you aren't using the loadVars line, then you can create a new chat room from any existing one just by appending something to the end of your current url, like by adding ?mychat at the end of the link above. People being too noisy (or nosy)? Make your own room instantly and send people the link.
