How is the Wami Recorder actually implemented?

I'm very new to the Wami Recorder, and I've never worked with Flash at all, so this may actually be a dumb question.

Basically, how does one go about implementing the Wami Recorder? I've seen it on the website, and it works great on there, but when I download it and try to use it within localhost as part of Xampp, it doesn't work.

If someone could kinda write up a Wami Recorder for Dummies answer, that'd be totally awesome.

I'm using this in CakePHP 2.0 if anyone knows especially how to use it within that framework.

Basically all I'm trying to do is record audio, save the file to a directory, and have POST information to be able to save certain details about the file to a database.
