Answer 1

Yes, there is support for recording video and surely you can send this data to the server.

There are many tutorials available, you can find them with a simple google search:

• https://influxis.com/simple-as3-recorder/
• https://code.google.com/p/flvrecorder/ --- has a sample
• http://www.purplesquirrels.com.au/2012/12/record-and-play-back-video-with-air-for-ios-on-ipad/

and many, many others.

If you want to use free server, where to send video to, I suggest to look into Red5, it seems that it's not supported for a while now, but the latest releases are running well.

Answer 2

You can capture audio and video from a webcam using Flash/ActionScript.

The encoded audio and video data is streamed (through rtmp) from the Flash client running in a browser to a media server like Red5, Wowza and AMS where it is saved in .flv, mp4 or .f4v video files.
