I'm looking to set up a site that allows users to use their webcams and chat with others. What opensource flash software is out there?

I dont think there is an open source flash video chat solution available.

However its not very diffucilt to make your own. Most of the products on the market seem a little ovedr priced and in my opinion a little yesteryear.

That kind of System is completely unnecessary in my opinion.
How ever you can always hire a php programmer to make it.

Its not a PHP programmer its a flash actionscipt one you need

Doing something like this with PHP alone is impossible, as stated you will need Flash or some other 3rd party software to get this to work. With that said you will need PHP (or ASP.NET or whatever) to code the backend of the site. I don't think there are any pre-built CMS's to handle something like this.

Red5 ( http://osflash.org/red5 ) seems to be exactly what you are looking for.

red5 is a free alternative to flash media server

you still need an application to run on it

That's unfortunate because I can't find any basic tutorials online.
