Ok, stupid simple question. How do I record audio from a microphone.

I have tried;

button "record" with code:

on mouseUp
record sound file "testing.wav"
end mouseUp

button "stop" with code:

on mouseUp
stop recording
end mouseUp

button "play" with code:

on mouseUp
play "testing.wav"
end mouseUp

(there is no testing.wav being created so button 3 is really irrelevant)

button "recording?" with code:

on mouseUp
answer recording
end mouseUp

(to test whether Rev is recording, always says false no matter what I've tried)

I've tried many different approaches but this seems the simplest program to test audio recording, this is just a test stack with no card or stack scripts and no other scripts outside those buttons.

Sound recording requires that you have QuickTime installed.
What operating system, os version, quicktime version and Rev version are you using?

Win xp, 64 bit.
Latest QT now but I've tried several versions in the hopes it would work.
Rev 2.8.1

I think it's the 64 bit screwing things up, I registered for the trial of Revolution on an old computer running 2k in 32 bit and it works properly.

Update: Bug fixed in 2.9
