Thanks Greg and William, I now you can do that with FMS/Red 5, but on the tour Adobe people specifically mentioned that the recording could be done with AIR directly. I even asked after they showed the slides and they said yes (unfortunately they did not give more details).
Greg, can I install the Flash Media Encoder (FME) on a local machine and record a FLV? Is there a way to manage the interaction from an AIR app. ? Or can I launch the FME from a Zinc 3 application made with Flex?
