    Set user color without the component

I have a 2 way chat program, which uses the standard chat component.

I want to set the text color in the chat history so that, for example, User
1 is red and User 2 is blue. I don't want the users to be able to change the
color, so do not want the usercolor component. I looked in the 'Bible' but
that doesn't give any real clues, other than to use the component. I have
also examined the AS in the component and tried copying code out of it, but
to no avail. I have tried Googling but it seems that no-one else has tried
to do this.

Maybe I am missing something really obvious - can anyone help?!

Thanks
Andy

Scott,
One way to do this would be to create an algorithm which sends the user
color to the user from the server .

e.g

application.onConnect = function(nC, varObj)
{
var nC = {}
nC.txtColor = Your random colour;

this.acceptConnection(nC)
nC.call("setTxtColor",null,nC.txtColor)
}

That should call a function on the client that sets an individual colour for
each client. That should show up on an html enabled text field

The thing is I don't want a random colour. I want to define User 1 as red
and User 2 as blue.

I looked in the chat.asc on the server and saw this code:

FCChat.prototype.connect = function( client ) {

var cglobal = this.getClientGlobalStorage(client);

if (!cglobal.usercolor) {
cglobal.usercolor = "0x000000";
}

client.call( this.callPrefix + "receiveHistory", null,
this.history );
client.call( this.callPrefix + "setUsername", null,
cglobal.username);
}

If I can somehow call this to set the color, it should work. Question is -
how?!

Andy

Sorted it.
I did it server side. As I have separate functions to log in each of the two
users, I simply set the global called usercolor in the same way i set the
username.
