Shoutbox

I've been trying to figure out how I'd be able to determine if a received message was the first received message in the current chat window, but I can't seem to figure out a graceful way of doing this. Can anyone suggest/flesh out how I might go about it?

code:

---

var ChatWnds = new Array();
function OnEvent_ChatWndCreated(ChatWnd){
ChatWnds.push(ChatWnd);
}
function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(ChatWnd, Origin, Message, MessageKind){
if(Origin !== Messenger.MyName){
for(i in ChatWnds){
if(ChatWnd === ChatWnds[i]){
// first message received..
}
}
}
}

---

could try that, haven't tested it since i'm currently skinning

just need to make sure you set ChatWnds[i] to null in that if, otherwise the next message will be seen as the first too.

mmmm... ok. i think i follow. not entirely sure so I'll need to experiment a bit once i'm back in front of my computer. thanks!
