Help recording a webcam

Question

Hi,
I am planning on creating an application that will need
webcam activity recorded and then uploaded to a database, I know
that flash media server will be needed, but how do I go about
recording a webcam in flash and linking it with flash media server?
Any help would be much appreciated
thanks
Gavin

Thanks!,
have found this code in the documentation, but having a
slight problem
The following example shows how to publish and record a
video, and then play it back.
/* This script publishes and records video.
The recorded file will be named "allAboutMe.flv". */
var my_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
my_nc.connect("rtmp://localhost/allAboutMe/mySpeech");
var publish_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(my_nc);
publish_ns.publish("allAboutMe", "record");
publish_ns.attachVideo(Camera.get());
/* This script plays the recorded file.
Note that no publishing stream is required to play a recorded
file. */
var my_nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
my_nc.connect("rtmp://localhost/allAboutMe/mySpeech");
var subscribe_ns:NetStream = new NetStream(my_nc);
subscribe_ns.play("allAboutMe");
my_video.attachVideo(subscribe_ns);// my_video is a Video
object on the Stage.
For this line
my_nc.connect("rtmp://localhost/allAboutMe/mySpeech");
I am having trouble with the location, what do I need to put
in here?, When I entered admin details for fms2 I didn't enter a
server address?, what needs to go in there? and is that meaning
this code won't work at the moment?
thanks
Gavin
