UPDATE - NEWER RELEASE AVAILABLE - GO HERE

Well, I don't know about you, but I don't like it when Drupal modules are released with closed-source SWF files - especially when the SWF file comprises the core of the module.

So this is a bit cooler than adding two numbers together....
Here's my very first bare-bones Flex / red5 video recorder, and a few lessons I learned in creating it.

1) Red5 handles NetSteam's .publish() methods automagically. In other words, your java application does not have to do anything except extend ApplicationAdapter to let you use it from Flex to record video. In fact, if you don't want to tinker with java/red5 at all, you can just use a demo application like oflaDemo as your NetConnection hookup. So if you have red5 running out of the box and do:

Boo-ya! Finally got this working! My "Hello world" red5 app is attached...It's nothing fancy (adds two numbers together and spits it out in the eclipse debug console), but I couldn't find a good template to work off of that used red5 v.8 and Flex w/ AS3, so here it is.

You'll need Adobe Flex Builder set up in Eclipse to run this.

Installation:
1) Unzip myapp.tar_.gz and place myapp/ in ~/projects/red5/dist/webapps
2) Unzip red5test.tar_.gz and place into your eclipse workspace.
