Recording Flash Microphone via…
It doesn’t get much more fun than this. Below are videos of me presenting two amazing techniques for capturing the Flash Microphone for recording voice & sound during FITC Toronto 2009. To demonstrate and implement both open source solutions I had some invaluable help from key figures in the Flash/Flex and open source communities, namely Chris Allen & Dominique Accattato on Red 5, and Mr. Adam Flater on Merapi.
While I’ve not yet gone back to package up the demo code for distribution, the videos tell the story of what we’re try to do here at getMicrophone.com.
First up is a demo on using Merapi, in conjunction with AS3 and AIR to capture Microphone, store it in a local file, and play it back.
Second is a demo on using Red5, in conjunction with AS3 and Flash Player to stream Microphone data to a remote server (it was simulated for the demo), record the stream and play it back.
I’ll be revisiting these demos and more, adding some more visual aspects to them as well, for the upcoming Flash on the Beach conference.
As always, if you’ve got a cool project for us to showcase that uses Flash Microphone in any way, let us know via twitter!

Hi!
Thanks for the post! We’re building an application to record and distribute french oral exams for schools and would like to take the air+merapi approach to make a version that can record the audio files locally. Unfortunately your demo video won’t play for me here in China. Could you give us some pointers of how you went about that and/or forward me the demo video? Perhaps even some source code? We’re looking at paring down red5 and stuffing it into a web start app but I’m wondering if there’s an easier way to do it…
Thanks in advance,
James
