AIM Presence is a tool released by AOL to show online status. Problem is some sites can not use it. Myspace, for example, requires an extention at the end of source. If it does not, then Myspace will add it for you. This causes the original Presence to look up an incorrect screen name. My original fix was to use the embed… (more) tag with presence. This worked but caused some formatting problems on my myspace page.
So I wrote this small application up a while ago. It works great with MySpace and should work on any site in which you can post flash. It works exactly like AIM's code for the most part. The AIM URI link will not work in Flash 9 and up on MySpace as MySpace is able to block outgoing links in Flash 9.
Please use with screen names that you have permission from the owner to only.
Hosting is done off a free site which may cause some problems. If you have a site and would like to host this app, let me know.
