Hi Larry,

There are definitely issues with Flash's XMLSocket, but I don't think I've
ever run into this behavior before. You said that after joining, your
client doesn't send any further messages to the MUC room ... I'm wondering
if it's related, but I don't think MUC needs messages in order to keep the
connection alive :)

I've had issues with the MUC component dying on me after long periods of
inactivity, but nothing as you describe. What server are you running?

Cheers,
- Sean
