Actionscript 3 :: Detect If Camera Is Capturing In Flash?
Jun 15, 2010
I'm having trouble with Camera.getCamera() in Flash AS3. If there are multiple camera drivers, it does not necessarily pick the correct one. If the default is the correct, the program works fine; however, if another driver is selected as the default then LED on the webcam does not come on and no video is captured. I can cycle through the available cams and select an arbitrary one. I don't, however, know how to determine if the selected camera is correct. It is not returning null. I considered using camera.currentFPS, but it's not clear when this gets updated. I'm really struggling to determine dynamically which camera will do the trick!

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'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to post this, but I was wandering its possible to build your own Player in Flash? The situation is: I have an external digital camera, and i need to capture its contents and display it in a player/window. This will all be on a local machine. I don't need to record anything, or stream it to other machines..... I just need the player to be able to display what ever the camera is displaying. Kind of like the Live Encoder (input and output views). With that I could hopefuly embed the player into other applications.

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 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

I have a movieclip on stage. Its 500x400. It has many children of diffent sizes added to it. How can I capture the area 300x200 of the movieclip from (0,0). Suppose there was a child at (100,100) of width and height 300 then I should be able to see from this child from 100 to 300 and 100 to 200 respectively. The rest of the area is not needed. I should be able to manipulate the captured image later. So I guess I have to capture it as a Bitmap. But how can this thing be done.

I am totally new to Flash and SWF file.I am using Flash professional 8. I have this swf file which plays a flv from URL-xyz.com. This server redirects to the rtmp server and streams the flv from there. I would like to capture this rtmp url in my action script.The _url parameter gives me URL-xyz.com and not the redirected url.Is there any way to capture this redirected url ?

I'm using screen captrue software (camtasia studio 6) to capture a video of my flash animation. But when I capture it, the aniamtion is jerky. My flash animation is set to 30fps and looks great when played, but not when I play back the captured movie.
I have experimented with a few other codecs, including the Techsmith default, cinepak and microsoft video but they are all the same.
Could someone recommend to me a good codec to use that will capture my animation better?

In IE, if flash has focus, and receives a keydown event, it does not appear to bubble the event up through the DOM (I can't capture the event by listening on document, however the same listener can capture key events from html siblings, so I know my listener is working).
However, some other plugins on the page (I am looking at you windows media player) still respond to key events that initiate in flash (and I need to prevent that from happening)! It seems that the key event initiated in flash takes the bubble express highway straight to the top (where the top is whatever is above document in the DOM hierarchy). I have tried terminating the events in as3, and tried different wmodes... neither approach works.

I build flash web sites and have only a limited understanding of javascript. I am trying to monetize a flash page that I have built for myself and is getting an increased traffic. The page has to be flash as it is based on flash dynamic graphic capabilities. Besides I prefer to integrate and customize the ads into my page rather than use standard ad zones offered by the ad networks. I have a permission from a small ad network to convert their ads to flash but I was not able to do it myself. They use a standard java script src code for creating their ads. It looks approximately like this:
<SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript1.1" SRC="http://bdv.Advertiser.com/Advertiser.dbm?pid=22222&bid=111111" type="text/javascript"></SCRIPT>
They require though that the capturing will be done in a way that allows them to monitor my page. I can publish Flash player 9 so I can work with ExternalInterface.call
how to translate the code to Flash and how to change the html code will be helpful. I am also willing to pay someone who is interested in working with me directly via Email correspondance on properly placing the code.

I'm trying to have a webcam option in my flash that would allows the user (if they have a webcam) to take a picture of themselves and show this picture in flash.So far I've only been able to get the camera part working, that is the webcam feed is showing. How do I go about capturing the image when a user presses the button and then load that up in the flash?
Code:
import flash.display.BitmapData;

I am trying to capture mouse events in flash while the mouse is being held down. The intention is to keep reciving events as long as the mouse is pressed, even if the cursor leaves the flash element. That's the behavior I get on all browsers other than IE, which only fires events while the cursor is inside the stage.
I'm pretty sure I've seen such "well behaved" flash applets work in IE before.
