need help with dating site

[pralayankar]

hi,
I am a webmaster working at Real Infoware, one of India's largest BPO and Software / Web Outsourcing companies www.realinfoware.com.

I am maintaining a dating site for our client and am in the process of adding some very unusual features:

1. A feature that allows members to record their movies using their web-cams through their browser and then later upload them on their profile. A good example of what I want to offer can be found at http://www.userplane.com/apps/videoRecorder.cfm

2. Another feature that I want is to allow the member's to view the video files of other members. I want this feature to be in Flash only. i.e. if a user wishes to view a video file of another member then on clicking the icon a small pop-up window opens up and the video file is streamed down in real time on the user's machine in Flash. I do not want to allow the user's to save the movie file on their hard drive, rather I would like the users to view the file through Real Time Media Streaming. A good example of video feeds in Flash is www.lavalife.com a excellent dating site.

Could you'll advice me what would be the best way to go in implementing these. Either to buy the licenses from Eyeball and Userplane or have it coded from scratch. Any place from where I can get the scripts which can be further modified for customization as per our client's requirement.

If any of the webmasters around have a similar application already built then I might be interested in buying it.

Any help or directions on this matter would be highly appreciated.


Cheers!!!!

It's a simple flash communication server app

Just ask your isp that has a flashcom server to give you a copy of the sample_guestbook fla and server side files, or the tutorial_record fla and alter them to your liking.

Option two - buy a pre-made app like datecam or similar- http://www.datecam.com/

Type flashcom apps in google - they're out there

Think about recording with flashcom. I'm played with flashcomm for a while and we run it on a few servers.
Mostly so we can let companies do video conferencing, play online or talk through their banners...lol. But most our clients use our Breeze server.

If you want to test an app let me know I'll throw it up so you can play with it.

To show you the posibilities, play with this I just stuck it up. It's a simple example of video conferencing, text chat, with a ringer - http://65.77.234.212/stuff/pfb.html
