help developing Flash application that allows video recording

[OM2]

I need to develop an application to allow user to record video using a webcam and then be able to upload

I've seen that Flash has recording abilities
And have seen this on Facebook when sending messages to someone
(Also seen in lots of other places as well)
But how do I make this work?

Are there any tutorials on this?

AND: what format does the video get recorded as?
I naturally assumed it would be in FLV format?

If so, then the next step would be to figure out how to do the upload?
Hopefully that should be easy?

But this is assuming that the video gets recorded on the users desktop in the first instance?

I've googled around and can't find any sample code

Any pointers/help would be great

Thanks

You need a server component to do so and that can be done via Flash Media Server... Go check it out...

any other options than flash media server?

You could also go with Red5, Wowza, Milenia Grafter Server or MultiuserServer...
