What kind of camera do I want for making flash player files out of what I record?

Answer 2

The key is the Software - not the camcorder.

The Flash video format is owned by Adobe.  You can purchase Adobe Flash for a very affordable price, but it can have a steep learning curve depending upon what want to do.

The real question is:  why do you need to use the flash video format?  The only groups that still use the flv video format on a large scale are video sharing websites.  If you are looking for a camcorder based on uploading video to a video sharing website like YouTube, any camcorder will do.  You can upload standard video formats like mov, mp4, and wmv; and the video site converts it to their flv format automatically.  All the video sharing websites use a similar process, so it does not matter what format your camcorder or your editing program uses.  The video sharing site will probably accept it.
