Flash and microphone data

I am trying to capture the microphone data and store the audio file in the server.

what are the option except the media server? using flash.

Is there any alternate option for flash to escape the extra media server.

Looks really interesting let me go through this thing thank you EastCoast for your help.

Currently I think you can only capture raw microphone data within the air 2.0 runtime rather than using a web served swf. There are quite a few rtmp server alternatives to FMIS that will allow recording of mic data e.g red5, haxevideo

Looks like it can be done in a browser after all (though dependent on an up to date version of flash player):
