Easy Webcam Record App

Question

I am looking for a very very basic way to just take the webcam. Have a little button to click record, and then when done press stop. Then that video is saved as a .flv on my server (and then i can do other things with it not in media server). I am sure this is very easy to do but i can't find any tutorials and suggestions on where to start with this. Any help would be appreciated.
thanks!

Hi,
You may want to take a look at this. This provides the client side code required to publish a video from the webcam. On the server side you'll need to create a new application with a simple server-side code in the main.asc like:
var pubCount = 0;
application.onConnect=function(clientObj){
          trace("          on connect ");
          return true;
application.onDisconnect=function(clientObj){
          trace("          on disconnect ");
application.onPublish = function(clientObj,streamObj){
  trace("          in application publish : " + streamObj.name);
  if(pubCount <= 1)
          streamObj.record("record");
  else
          streamObj.record("append");
  pubCount++; 
application.onUnpublish = function(clientObj,streamObj){
trace("          on unpublish : " + streamObj.type + ":" + streamObj.name);
streamObj.record(false);
Hope this helps.
Let me know if you have any other questions.
