title: Does webcam recording with Flex strictly requires a media server (FMS, Red5, Wowza,etc.)?
body: <p>I'm trying to implement a flex app that will be able to record a video from a webcam and then upload it to a server.</p>
  
  <p>I've only found tutorials and examples that require a media server running such as Red5, Flash Media Server and Wowza and an open rtmp stream to the server.</p>
  
  <p>However, I want to know if it's possible to record a video locally and then submit it to the server with a simple HTTP request.</p>
  
  <p>Is there a tutorial somewhere that shows how to do this? I'm really new in flex development and would love to have a step by step procedure :P</p>
