I need to provide an mp3 recorder from the user's sound card functionality to a flash application. It will be strictly a web app hosted on a server, not an install. User's may or may not have admin priviledges.
I am mostly a vb guy so I was wondering if this could be accomplished with Java, if so how many MS security windows will the user need to wade through?
It sounds like an applet is what you want, but I have no idea if an applet can be embedded or communicate with flash. Try googling "embed applet in flash" or something to that effect.
How much of this sound card functionality do you need to use in java? Java has a separation between the software and the hardware, so unless you have a library already, it will be hard to access native functionality.
"so unless you have a library already, it will be hard to access native functionality."
That is what I thought.
Thanks
Java has the javax.sound package in 1.4 or higher which should give you sound card access. But that might be restricted in an applet to playback only, without using a signed applet.
I've never heard of embedding Java in Flash.
