Simple Microphone Recorder

Use flash to record audio data from a microphone. Converts the audio data to a WAV file. Uploads the WAV file to the server. The WAV file is POSTed as a multpart form-data request. Additional fields can be added to the request, such as authenticity_token, (response) formart, etc... The flash recorder creates serveral external interfaces. This allows the recorder to be controlled through javascript. Only the save button must be clicked inside the flash application, see Upload and download require user interaction for more information.

Embedding the Recorder

<script>
  var appWidth = 24;
  var appHeight = 24;
  var flashvars = {'event_handler': 'microphone_recorder_events', 'upload_image': 'images/upload.png'};
  var params = {};
  var attributes = {'id': "recorderApp", 'name':  "recorderApp"};
  swfobject.embedSWF("recorder.swf", "flashcontent", appWidth, appHeight, "10.1.0", "", flashvars, params, attributes);
</script>

The event_handler is a javascript function that is called from the flash application. The first argument to the event_handler is always the name of the event as a string. The other arguments may vary depending on the event.

Flash vars

event_handler: javascript function called from the flash application

upload_image: image used as the save button

font_color: font color for the save text, default #0000EE

font_size: font size for the save text, default 12

if upload_image failes recorder will use a save link instead
