Webcam Basics in ActionScript 3

This brief tutorial covers the core code involved in working with the webcam in Flash with ActionScript 3. We start with the basics of accessing the webcam (the Camera object) and then get into a few more details like handling what happens when the user prohibits camera access.

this is real great stuff BUT.. I cant read anything here, video quality is a little nasty

[EyeCandyOutlet]

This is really useful but very hard to follow as unable to read screen. Can you improve resolution. I have tried HD

To see the suorce clear.. You should download this video first [savevid.com], then whatch it in full screen :)

dude! if you want just a WebCam in Flash as3, just put this code in the first frame, its that simple! var camera = Camera.getCamera();

var video = new Video(camera.width * 2, camera.height * 2);

video.attachCamera(camera)

addChild(video);

thumbs up so others can see...
