| purpose |
Set up and modify shockwave "lobby" templates from beta site. These are pre-built apps that can be customized via HTML parameters (model for re-usability) |

Implementation is clean, HTML paraters offer wide range of flexibility (size, colors) that are generated dynamically. Lobby entrance provides list of user created "rooms" (could be any multuser environment) and a chat place in the lobby.
Experimented with creating a custom room based on the "quickie chat". Limitation is that rooms only exist when people are active, they will not persist. Also, there is omly one type of room one can go to. Code is worth studying further.

Dissected more of code in this demo to understand framework. Has potential for providing a range of characteristics to and from movies via "Property Updater" concept (each movies necesary data are sent as a property list, and each movie has tools to return to the "lobby")
New version: Experimented with turning in the lobby to a front end to the modified whiteboard sample.

Modfied front entrance of swLobby to go to the "Who's here" frame rather then the view rooms frame. Modifed linked room as white board with image overlay, with dropped behaviors for chat and participant display.
