[flexcoders] Record and play back sound on the client in a Flex app
I’d like to build a flex-based app where users can click on a record button, talk into microphone, and then listen to what they recorded. I’d like to do it all client side so I don’t have to pay for expensive hosting or bandwidth. The audio never needs to come to a server it just needs to be persisted in memory on the client during the session. I would like to do it all in a web-delivered flex app without the user having to download and install any additional programs on their local machine. Is this possible? Christian

No. Flash Player needs Flash Media Server to be able to record audio from the Microphone class. You could use a Windows Media Player hosted object to record, but that would end up being a SmartClient style app, not a web delivered one and would require the user have DirectX installed. Influxis.com is really cheap; Mediatemple is only slightly more; both have FMS hosting in scales.

Christian, To do it in Flex you¹ll need Flash Media Server. However, about 7 years ago we developed an Internet module to some courseware that allowed the students to record their voice. We did it with Director and the Audio Xtra, so if you need a cross platform solution that can do it over an Internet delivery than Director might be the way to go.
