How to record video using the as3 camera class

Question

I'm trying to add video recording into a mobile app I'm building. But am struggling with the recording part. So far I have got the camera class displaying in a video object with the code below.

private function init():void
        {
            var camera1:Camera = Camera.getCamera();
            trace(Camera.names);
            if (camera1)
            {
                var ui1:UIComponent = new UIComponent();
                var video:Video = new Video (320, 240);
                camera1.setMode(320, 240, 24);
                camera1.setQuality(0, 100);
                video.attachCamera(camera1);
                ui1.addChild(video);
                cameraGroup1.addElement(ui1);

            }

        }

From what I understand you can use the cameraUI class instead to achieve the recording part and add it to the library but it would mean using the default camera application when I would rather use my own. I imagine recording using the camera class would require a tick to grab each frame and then something like the videoFrame event but could really use some code or a point in the right direction.

Thanks in advance.

Best way to record using the Flash or AIR application is Media Server. You can connect your application with Media Server (Flash Media Server / Red5 / any other Media Server which is providing Media Recording and Publishing.) and publish your stream for recording.

Second way, I need to search out the code but logically I can say answer. We need to convert Camera stream buffer in to the binary data and we need to save binary data as video file o File system. For that you can write down some code in ActionScript and need to write down some code in the Native Application as Native Extension.
