Actionscript 3 :: Check When Other Flash Application In Same Browser Is Already Using Camera?
Apr 16, 2012
I am having two flash applications on a same web page. Lets say one is already accessing the camera, then if i click on the second application, it will directly start using the camera. I dont want this. I need to check if any other flash application is already accessing the camera in the same web page. Let me tell you that we cant use Camera.getCamera() and check if the camera==null, this wont work, since the camera is available.

I am making an application that plays the video stream from the user's local system (both Windows and Mac). I use the Camera.getCamera() method and in turn Camera.names to get a list of camera attached with the system.
Unfortunately, if the camera is already in use by another application, say a desktop application on user's system, the browser is crashed. Is there any way that I can detect if a specific camera from the list of available camera is already in use by any other application?

I want to add the possibility to take a webcam picture to my project, but only if the user's system has a webcam installed (obviously). In other words, those without a webcam should not notice the new function at all.
So basically, I need to check if a webcam exists on the user's computer.
I found a couple of ways to accomplish this, but none seem to work when I test them on a webcam-less system.
* One way to detect the presence of a webcam is to check if (Camera.names.length > 0).
However, on my 'blind' (webcam-less) computer, Camera.names.length returned 1 nonetheless.
* The other is to check if (Camera.getCamera() != null).
If I understand it correctly, 'getCamera' is specific to Actionscript 3. My whole project is in Actionscript 2, I'm afraid it's too late to switch. The AS2 equivalent would be (Camera.get() != null). But I tested that on my 'blind' system and again, it didn't return null.
In short, both these methods indicated the presence of a webcam where there was none.
So my question is:
Is there a really foolproof way to detect the presence/absence of a webcam in Actionscript 2? Before the 'allow/deny' dialog pops up?

From 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?)

I have a typical web application that communicates in the following way: SWF file makes service calls to Java services (Remote object, over BlazeDS on Tomcat), which in turn communicates to database.
How do I implement a status check service (hosted on another domain) that will check if the ENTIRE app is up and running? Ideally, I'd make checker SWF that would load App SWF and called its function that would return something from the database (a naive service would count rows in table and hash it with MD5), but security constrains won't let me call loaded SWF's function.
Checking the java services only is not enough, as I am not checking the status of the SWF.

I want to use a fallback solution for HTML5 / flash audio players.
I wonder if I can use jQuery to check if HTML5 is supported.
I know there is .support() [URL]..but I'm not sure which would be a bullet proof check.

I have been working on DirectShow source filters. The flash10c.ocx routine that is invoked when you click on any "Featured Highlight" on http://www.ustream.tv can abort and takes ANY browser with it under certain conditions.
After days of work, I have finally narrowed this down to the camera enumeration function(s) in flash10c.ocx. Before beginning this quest, I had no idea that the flash player was enumerating cameras on user's machines.
If you right click on a window playing flash video, and select "Settings" then click on the camera symbol, you will see a drop-down window listing all Direct-Show Source Filters that are on your machine. I have several.

I have a flash application which consist of Grid Components, Button, Label, and Combo-box Components. All these components are used more than 70 times(simultaneously) with in the application. So Its takes too much of memory. So How can I test the memory usage of each component at the time of running. Is there any plug-in available for browsers to find the memory usage. I'm using flash CS3 and ActionScript 3.0. The application suppose to run in browsers.

I'm developing a Application in Flash Builder 4.5 to control an server application, also not a classical Website. All is Spark and I set the minHeight and minWidth-Properties for the , because i have an Image and Navigators, and there becomes a strange effect, when the browserwindow is sliding smaller that the min-Properties.The content and there scrollbars are already controlled over the parent containers, thats not the probelm.
Summary: What i expect from a upToDate-Application is:When the Browserwindow is larger than the min-Properties, but too small for the content, the Application respectively the container should control the scroll bars.If is the Browser-Window smaller than the min-Properties, i expecting scollbars from the browser. I think, in this case, the html-wrapper needs knowledge about the min-properties.

I need some little 3D rendering in my browser application. Unfortunatly the Internet Explorer 8 is not going to support WebGL, Canvas 2D or SVG. And the Windows XP users can't install the IE9 (which supports at least Canvas 2D). What do you think about Plugin-based alternatives?
I mean Silverlight with XNA 3D seems not to be supported any longer.Flash has a bad reputation if I ask Apple. What do you think about Unity3D?Are there others?

my organization is in the process of building a touchscreen interactive kiosk. We've designed a flash application to run on the kiosk to display information about our business, our publications, etc. We'd also like to be able to access our website through the flash application. We're having trouble figuring out how to do that effectively. The best we can do is to have the application launch Internet Explorer in a seperate window. This isn't so bad if we run IE in kiosk mode, however it becomes difficult/impossible to navigate back to the flash application (or to close the browser) without a mouse and keyboard (which users won't have access to).Wondering if there's a way to open or access a browser inside of the actual flash application, so users can access the flash menu, home buttons, etc and easily navigate back to the information contained in the rest of the flash application.

Generally when you unload an swf from another swf you would follow a cleanup utilzing removed from stage or unload events. But when you exit an as3 flash application by either navigating away from page or reloading the page or closing/removing the application. what is the best practices you would follow to ensure proper cleanup and garbage collection.
Question : what methods in solely as3 code can be used in this regard. It may be argued that once an swf is unloaded or removed its memory foot print can be verified to have decreased eg via the task manager Is this a good enough measure? Or is it advisable to handle the unloading/exiting in a proper manner ?

I've written a little video game in Flex that runs in a browser. The player moves by pushing the arrow buttons on the keyboard, so I need to capture those keystrokes. In fact, the game action starts when the player presses one of those keys.In order to capture the keystrokes, the Flash/Flex application, not just the browser, needs to have the focus.How can I ensure that the application has the focus? I've implemented a bit of a hack: A "Begin" button you must click to start the game. The only point of this button is to ensure that the app has the focus.

I have a grails application using jquery mobile. I am hoping to find some way to access the camera on the devices. I thought about using flash to grab the webcam but that obviously wont work on Apple devices. Does anyone know of a way to do it and keep it all browser based? I am hoping that there is a plugin somewhere or maybe html5 has some magic in there that supports it.
