please if any one knows.
or if i cant, can anybody tell me iff i can use some java or c++ in flash to do it

i am new in flash and i have many questions

thanx for your time

I'm not quite sure what you mean...do you mean you want to launch some app on the client side and allow users to record a sound using their own mike and set up? That would be quite possible but would depend on their setup...

elaborate please...

i mean that you have a button in the flash application and when you push it flash 5 starts to record sounds (using an attached microphone)
u can stop the recording using a stop button
and using a play button you can hear the recorded file (.wav)

flash doesnt has to launch another application

[jimburton]

That would be nice! Short answer is no though. If your movie is playing in the projector you can launch applications using fscommand("exec", path to app) and if not you can launch them with a combination of AS/Javascript etc. The user could then use their audio app to record a sound but you'd then need a way of making the wav available to your movie on the fly - there may be some third party package available to do just that, anyone??

I'm pretty sure (almost positive) you can do it with Director if that's any help. But I'll guarantee you that you can't do it with Flash (yet). Even if you could record the sound with and external app you can't include audio on the fly in Flash (except with 'attach' which is different).

I think flash newer versions allow this to be done .. i am sorry if i am late in reply :)

I have been looking for a very similar thing but all I keep finding is exe's for sale that claim to do some of it.

Basically I want to record audio from client side mic, store audio temporarily client side, then push to server side. From there I got.

Is there an actionscript resource available somewhere that I can modify.
