Big picture/beginners question - Adobe Connect

(I must admit that I have very little experience with video conferencing.)

What I'm looking for is an off-the-shelf relatively low-cost videoconferencing package I can integrate into our own package.

We want to be able to open a copy of our own product, call up one or more other computers, record the whole thing, and save the recording to a relatively common format.  We want our own interface to control the entire process, not a third party control or popup.  The whole process must be controlled by the computer that starts up our application.

Actually I should also mention that this capability will most likely be needed in a web app, at least at first.  It is possible we may want to do this with Windows apps later.  All of our future application development will most likely be in Dot Net 4.0.

Can this be done with Adobe Connect?

    My initial feeling is not really. To control a room and manage recordings you need to be using our Adobe Connect Host Add-in which is a specially created Flash Player with the needed controls for a Connect session. So, you really need to have the Host. Now, you might take a look at our development page where the API is located:   http://www.adobe.com/devnet/adobeconnect.html

    Do I understand this correctly?.  Adobe Connect itself is a server and the Adobe Connect Host Add-in is the 'chat window', a stand-alone web app?

    If so, is it at least possible for another web app to call up a window with the Add-in and log it in, rather than doing it manually?

    Adobe Connect is a web conference solution based on a server and the client is the Adobe Flash Player. You can look up all the features on the website.

    The Host add-in needs to be running and the admin logged in so I don't think your use is a good match here.
