It seems to me that you've commented out the part that would prevent 
the error.

Here's the example from the Help:

package {
    import flash.display.Sprite;
    import flash.events.*;
    import flash.media.Microphone;
    import flash.system.Security;
    import flash.system.SecurityPanel;

    public class MicrophoneExample extends Sprite {
        public function MicrophoneExample() {
            var mic:Microphone = Microphone.getMicrophone();
            Security.showSettings(SecurityPanel.MICROPHONE);
            mic.setLoopBack(true);
                    
            if (mic != null) {
                mic.setUseEchoSuppression(true);
                mic.addEventListener(ActivityEvent.ACTIVITY, 
activityHandler);
                mic.addEventListener(StatusEvent.STATUS, 
statusHandler);
            }
        }

        private function activityHandler(event:ActivityEvent):void {
            trace("activityHandler: " + event);
        }

        private function statusHandler(event:StatusEvent):void {
            trace("statusHandler: " + event);
        }
    }
}


It looks like Microphone might be a Singleton Class and probably you 
can't even refer to it without using getMicrophone() to get the 
instance of it.

HTH;
