An announcement by Macromedia tells that there is a new SDK to let developers of Flash applications integrate AOL and ICQ into the app.

According to terms of an agreement months in the making and announced today at Macromedia's MAX conference in Salt Lake City, developers creating Flash-based applications for distribution in Central will now have access to messaging and presence-detection capabilities from the AOL Instant Messenger and ICQ networks. Ideally, those developers will leverage AIM and ICQ APIs in adding IM and presence to the business and consumer applications they develop and sell via Central.

AOL in turn will promote Macromedia Central on the AIM client.  Hmmm, selling ad space on the Sametime client, what a concept LOL   Image:Have a snappy flash website? Toss some IM integration from AOL in there
