Webcam - Detect Flash-accessible Camera Without Prompting User For Access To Camera If One Exists?
Oct 11, 2010
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 service that uses computer webcam via Flash. Now I'd like to develop an Android optimized version of the service using HTML5 + Flash and then use some HTML5 wrapper to get an app.
I wonder if it's possible to use the same ability of Flash that provides an access to user's phone camera (frontal) on the Android (tablet pcs, smart phones). I know Android supports Flash since 2.2, but I failed to find any information on hardware access.

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?

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'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!

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

Is there any other way to access the camera using ActionScript 3 other than
import flash.media.Camera;
videoInstance.attachCamera(cameraInstance);
Or should I use any API s? If so, any API suitable and some tutorials if possible.

I am having a problem with correctly detecting a user's camera settings.
If the user has selected "allow" and "remember", then the camera.muted setting is false (not muted)
However, if the user has selected "deny" and "remember", then the camera.muted setting is true. (camera has been muted by the user)
BUT, if the user hasn't selected anything and the "remember" checkbox is unchecked, the camera.muted setting is ALSO TRUE (the camera is again muted, but it's only because someone hasn't "allowed" the camera yet)
Is there a way to differentiate between when a user has chosen to deny a camera forever for a particular site (by checking the "remember" check box) OR when they just haven't allowed the camera in the first place?

if you have tried it you know that it is not working. The main thing is that on Android 2.2 the camera allowance dialog is not being displayed when you try to access it from the web browser. I've found something called PhoneGap, but it is not working on the android 2.2, or at least some parts of it is not working. Has anyone any clues how to access the camera from the web browser on Android 2.2?

currently I use the following workflow for Live video streaming.I have FMLE on a computer streaming the Video feed to my FMS.I currenlty use Dreamweaver to create window with a few instances of a video window and one of the windows is configured to rtmp to my server and the stream name of the stream I have setup in FMLE.This then streams to one of the windows.I then assign a different Stream name to the other windows.
I send an FMLE client to a user in the locations that want to have a video presence on the webpage.I send them instructions and running FMLE and the parameters to use to get their camera up and running.This works fine to a point.Most of the users are not technically minded and so often this leads to issues and delays to get these things to work.
I want to move on and improve this flow.I want to create the video instances on the page where:Below each video window is a text input field where a user can type in their name which will be used as the stream name.Below each video window is a button that the user clicks to connect their camera automatically without having to install FMLE.Once the video feed is running, only that user can click the button again to disconnect it. ( The button changes to "Stop Broadcast" etc).
I have looked at the structure of Ustream for example, and this seems to be the method they use as you can download the XML file of your channe,l and the RTMP URL and stream name can be copied and then used directly in FMLE and you can stream with more control of your camera that way.
