I'm trying for a webcam based application. I started the code like this:
import flash.media.Camera;
import flash.media.Video;
var cam:Camera = Camera.getCamera();
a.vid1.attachCamera(cam);
a.vid1.smoothing = true;
My problem is that the quality of the video. Im using an iMac machine, in which camera quality is good. Is there any way to increase the quality of the camera output?
I have this simple code to access the webcam:[code]The quality of the video is extremely bad, with big compression fragments.I am using a built-in webcam as test, so I don't expect too much. But what I see is not normal for my webcam.So how do I set the quality of the video?I cannot see any difference in quality if I remove the setQuality call.
View 1 RepliesFrom a Flash object, I would like to be able to detect the presence of a webcam that the user might grant access to, without actually asking the user whether they want to grant access. This is to streamline a large application that has extra features if a webcam exists — if there is a webcam, the application will present several dialogs that lead up to the normal cam-security prompt, but if the user doesn't have the hardware, I want to skip over them altogether. Requesting access to the cam before those dialogs won't make sense to the user.
It appears not to be possible to call Camera.getCamera() without the security prompt happening. Is there a workaround? (For instance, could I, perhaps, call getCamera in a hidden Flash object and inspect its return value, or does it block until the user acknowledges the security prompt?)
Usually Adobe Flash applications can access any usb-webcam.I have a USB camera for microscopes which understands TWAIN and DirectShow.Is there a possibility to access the video data from this camera with flash?

View 1 RepliesI have a video capture device on a machine. I have written a windows application to capture the video from this device. While capturing, if i try to broadcast using flash it does not connect. If i'm already broadcasting and then try to capture then my windows application does not get the capture pin of the device. So, flash seems to be taking the capture pin. Is there anyway to broadcast using the preview pin on the device so that i can capture using my application. Or is there way where i can split the capture pin and give one to my app and one to the broadcaster
View 10 Replieshow can I increase the size of flash CS4 interface? Meaning also to enlarge tools buttons, so they are easier to see. I have to strain my eyes, because all of the toolbars and text related to them are too small, for constant work.Is this possible? I know there is one way - to increase display DPI settings, but that would also increase the whole desktop, but I would like just to increase flash interface text size and if it is possible then also tool buttons.
View 1 RepliesI am making a side scrolling flash game. The level is pre-made so there arent objects wich spawn on runtime. Now I made this level quite long, but in the editor window it suddenly stops. But in game it still scrolls on.This is in the editor.You can see that the scroll bar cant go left any more.The level is longer than then shown in editor. At first it was just putting an object at the border of the scene to increase it.
View 1 RepliesWhen publishing a project from Camtasia Studio 7, the params list includes a setting for quality. But instead of the usual "high" value, it sets it to "best". I Google'd and searched these forums but had no luck finding any definitive explanation if these two settings are equivalent. Can anybody enlighten? This topic also spurred another question, does the quality default to the highest value if the parameter value is invalid?

View 2 Replieshow to increase the work area of a flash document? Not the stage but the empty space around the stage. [URL] It seems to be limited to about 4,000 pixels wide regardless of the zoom level. This is a big problem for me as I'm working with a movie clip with a width of 8000 pixels and if I want to add text to part of the clip that's at 6,000 pixels in, I can't see it because its outside the work area. I can't shift the clip to the left to access the part on the right because if I do, the text area doesn't move with it. Is there any way to link objects together? When I select multiple items on the stage and Right Click, there's an option called "Break Apart" but I don't see one to join them or link them.

View 2 RepliesI have a small question about the size of images imported to flash.Recently I imported a series of png images to flash CS5 to be used in an animation, 92 images to be exact. Each image was 34Kb size. Before I imported the images, the FLA was 6kb, and after I imported them the FLA was 160 MB large. Now 33Kb * 92 isn't 160 MB, so why does this happen? Is there any way to decrease the image quality or something when importing, or do I have to do that manually when creating the images?
(I used photoshop, and the images have a transparent background if that makes a difference).
