macromedia flash flashcom:
I'm in need of some tips and tricks about audiorecording.

Problem: How do I let users record audio (spoken messages), and store these
messages as wav-files on the webserver? Just like an ordinary guestbook, but
with no text input - only sound!

I'm developing some sort of a switchboard based on PHP & XHTML+Voice, where a
therapist will listen to these incoming soundfiles, and reply to the user by
writing. These written messages from the therapist are presented as synthetic
voice/speech for the user.

I'm not new to flash, but I'm not very experienced in actionscripting.

Any advice would be appreciated! Thanks :-)

The first thing to addrress is that your FCS recorded audio will be in flv
format. If you want wav files you need to do some conversion/extraction. If
you plan for your playback application to be a flash movie, there's no reason
why you couldn't leave the files as .flv's.

I'm guessing you want to move the files to your https server to minimize
bandwidth useage on the FCs server, but let me know if you had other reasons in
mind.

Once FCS is done with the recording stream, it will release it so you can move
it with PHP. Is the FCS server on the same machine as the http server? The
method for moving the file will vary depending on the situation.
