Recording sound with actionscript3 without waiting for mic activity to begin writing the bytearray

I am testing sound recording in as3 and now i have this question :

I am using this line to start the recording and write sound data to the bytearray (wich works) : 

_mic.addEventListener(SampleDataEvent.SAMPLE_DATA, getMicAudio);

But the thing is that the sound only start to get written when there is some activity on the mic...

For example, let say i use a "rec" button and click it, i want the bytearray to be filled as soon as the button is clicked...not waiting for mic activity...

So, is it possible to fill a bytearray with "no sound" and how would that be done?

Thanks for any help you can bring!

Just adjust the microphone settings so that there is ALWAYS activity on it as long as you're running it. You do this by adjusting settings like microphone.silenceLevel:

http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/media/Microphone.html#setSilenceLevel()

So for example, you set the silence level to 0 and the timeout to 99999 or something. This way flash will no longer automatically shut off the microphone when there is no or low sound.
