Hi,
I am using a normal listbox to display a chat history on the client. Is
there a property or simple script that I can use to truncate the amount of
text that goes in there?
Say I want to limit the amount of text to 100 lines, how would I do that?

Stefan

Sorry I was talking rubbish...

Not listbox - textarea!

I can't find info on setRowCount (I guess this would apply to listbox
anyway) b ut there is a maxChars property for the textarea. Still I am =
not
sure if that will actually do what I need as it appears to apply to =
editable
textareas...

Thinking out loud here...since messages are placed into a history array,
create a recursive loop inside say FCCHATClass.prototype.receiveHistory
function which counts the number of messages in the history array and the=
n
clear the history array when it reaches 100?

I presume you use the textchat component?

Try commenting out line 95-102

/*
FCChatClass.prototype.receiveHistory = function(h) {
var history;
for ( var i = 0; i < h.length; i++ )
history += h[i];

this.history_txt.htmlText = history;
this.history_txt.scroll = this.history_txt.maxscroll;
};
*/

SS: If you're using the standard FCS shipped file then edit some prefs
in --> /scriptlib/components/chat.as

FCChat.prototype.histlen    = 35;   // Maximum history length
FCChat.prototype.persist    = true; // Whether to save history
FCChat.prototype.allowClear = true; // Allow clients to clear history

Set histlen to 0 and persist to false and you should get a blank chat
window whenever you login to any room using the chat.as.  You can edit
your application's main.as file and point to a copy of chat.as if you'd
rather leave the originals alone.

You can alternatively play with the chat components innards and edit
the recieveHistory function and poke around there.

If you do that also make sure you delete any existing SO's in your app dir
or the old history may show up again and again.
