I have a mostly Flash-based website. I need to be able to dynamically render links to start a new chat session based on "Agent Availability". Is there a way I can post a request to an .ASPX function that will return values needed to create a link to start a chat session? For Example:
<form action="findStatus.aspx" method="post"><input type="submit" value="find status" /></form>
<form action="createLink.aspx" method="post"><input type="submit" value="create link" /></form>
// findStatus.aspx
public bool agentAvailable() {
// Check to see if an operator is available
if(operator.isOnline) {
return true;
} else {
return false;
}
}
//createLink.aspx
public string createChatLink(bool agentOnline) {
if(agentOnline) {
return "BLOCKED SCRIPTstartChat();";
} else {
return "BLOCKED SCRIPTleaveMessage();";
}
}
Basically, my flash movie would post form data to these external pages and I would render a button based on the outcome. I hope this makes sense. Also, I don't know if there are any Web Services made for Cute Support Chat that I could make service calls to? That would be prefered over my simple form-based method.
