Is it possible to detect the specific webcam hardware that a person is using to stream through flash? Assuming that the user has accepted the webcam security questions and is successfully streaming to a FMS server; Can some code we written so that I can tell if the user is using a lifecam vs another model. Ie. are there headers or some other signature that can be used to detect this?
View 1 RepliesCurrently making a music project that will, in theory, play sounds based on detected colors a webcam can see.
I'm certain this is possible in either AS 2 or 3 - but unsure exactly how.
I've searched the wonderful nets for a tutorial or an example of this being done with flash but have come up with nothing.
Is there any tutorials for detecting colors and then responding to them? (All as viewed by webcam, so in real-time).
I need help with a small flash project i'm doing. Basically the task is to detect a color via webcam, then respond to what colors it can see (using the webcam). Example Color red is held in front of camera - flash sees this, then respond by playing a sound. green and red is held in front of cam, flash can tell there is two colors, plays a sound. etc would writing the webcam video object to a BMD every frame, then getPixel that to work out the colors? I'm guessing i'd need to use colorTransform to merge all the blues, reds, greens, etc together (so it only checks for those 3) then responds if it finds them with getpixel?
is there any examples of that, or something similar i could work from? would anyone be able to give a quick write up of what this might looklike/how to do it? (havent done much programming in as3) All i need it to do is: Check video for range of colours (ie, blue, light blue, dark blue, etc, all are equal to blue, unsure how i'd do this. Was thinking Yellow, Red, Green, Blue as the 4 colours) If any of those are in the video, then respond by playing a sound. (However if yellow and blue are in the video at the same time, play a DIFFERENT tune)
I searched forums and googled and not found anything on how to detect the Webcam supported resolutions in flash.The whole issue stems from the issue when I use Camera.getCamera() (only have one attached to my laptop) I'm always getting different values for camera.height and camera.width. Also some 720p cams have different aspect ratio then the old cameras.Is there possible to detect somehow what's the largets resolution is supported by a webcam? Or all possible resolutions supported?
View 2 RepliesI'm working on a school project that will work so that a webcam can scan a grid of colors and determine what color it is and there by playing a sound tha is connected to that color. You can then create music by drawing different colors on a grid.I know that this is doable in AS3, I just don't know how exactly since im kind of new to this.So i managed to import the webcam image to flash, and that's all. How do I Proceed?
* How do i get the webcam to detect colors? (Green, Blue, Red, Yellow and Black)
* How do i connect these color detections to start playing a sound/movieclip?
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?)
im trying to detect when a webcam fails or is unplugged.
Code:
//Get webcam on the screen
var video_vobj:Video;[code]....
this is only executed at the start and i cannot tell if the camera is disconnected during the rest of the clip.Is it possible to check the connection for the life of the clip ?

View 5 RepliesI'm having a bit of trouble implementing a system that can detect night and day through webcam.
I've decided the best approach would be to detect the average colour of the webcam image, and through this it can be converted to grayscale and if its closer to black the background will be dark or if its white it'll be brighter.
What I'm having trouble doing is working out how to achieve this, I've been using the kirupa webcam tutorial but I've got no idea how to actually go about working out the average colour.[URL]..
Is there any possibility/workaround to detect if user's webcam supports 16:9 aspect ratio?

It will be a screen I share in Connect. The video pod in connect is not what I want.
I don't have my own Flash Media Server. I can however use the Highwinds CDN. They run FMS on their CDN. When you schedule a live event, Highwinds gives you two urls: the "server" and "stream name". Examples:

That is the entire code for my program and when it runs, nothing happens. I know the program has access to the laptop's webcam because it can trace the name and a similar program I wrote works with the same webcam. This program doesn't even ask for permission to access the webcam so I'm rather confused.
I've been trying to access my webcam on my macbook pro using flash cs4 in an attempt to try and use the live feed to detect levels of motion and from there use that information to alter / animate an image on the screen (idea being more movement = more change in image), however I cant seem to get my webcam to even stream out and play on a flash file.
The code I am using is:
start code
var camera;
var video;
camera = Camera.getCamera();
video = new Video(camera.width * 2, camera.height * 20);
video.attachCamera(camera);
addChild(video);
end code
And when I run the file it asks for me to grant access to webcam / microphones (which is what it should do) but it doesnt stream to the file.
I am looking for a "test your webcam" flash movie like this one that is free and OK to use in a closed environment.
I need the camera testing only, no server side processing of the video stream. It is thought as a small online tool for a client.

I'm trying to accomplish something with flash but I'm having some problems, if not a solution I'm hoping someone can tell me a method and what I should read up on to do this: I want to have an image on the stage that has a gap the shape of a face in the middle of it, I'd then like to put a webcam feed behind it so people can line their face up in the gap and press a button to take a picture. (I've managed to put the webcam on the stage and take the picture but can't work out how to put it behind an image). Then I cant quite work out how I'd put the face onto a character I've drawn.
View 1 RepliesI've been looking at opensource tools, but turns out my roommate has an old version of flash. All the webcam tuts I've seen don't work in this, i'm wondering if webcam controls even exist in as2 and if someone could possibly provide a simple explanation on how to make them work?
I have wowza media server running on my host and I want to be able to broadcast my webcam on a website using it.
I'm making a book/magazine with EZFLAR and Flash, but I was going to need a lot of markers (and they become indistinguishable by FLARToolkit the more they are), so now I'm trying a different approach: just three markers and then, load a different SWF that triggers different actions for each marker.
To do so, I made a loader.swf that will be in charge of loading any of the specific swf depending on what the user clicks. I started with my first button and it loads fine, just it has two problems.
First problem, and not so important, is that I can't seem to add anything over the webcam stream, not even placing it on the EZLFAR.fla, the webcam always covers everything. I decided, then, to add a little margin where I can place a UI (maybe a back button or the other swf loaders).

I'm currently developing a website in which I want to stick webcam chats between the users. Each client has an account and can call up a different client when he needs some help.I'm thinking about setting up a flash media server or creating p2p (cirrus) connections between the clients. Pretty sure that the first solution will work just fine, however the cost of the hosting might be much higher. I'm worried that the p2p solution might cause some problems to the users, as then might be hidden behind some firewalls or be in some networks that don't allow them to create a p2p connection with a remote computer.
