ARG! FMS and Webcam Record

programming flash
1

Ok, I’m going to flip if I can’t find out what’s going on here…

I’m using Flex (I’m also developing in AS 3) and I need to be able to
record some video from my webcam, store it on the FMS, and then be
able to select is from a list and play it in another Flex app.

So far, I can’t even get the recording part down… I don’t know what’s
wrong with my code…??


<?xml version="1.0"?> 
<!-- controls\videodisplay\VideoDisplayCamera.mxml --> 
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"> 

    <mx:Script> 
        <![CDATA[ 
     
             // Define a variable of type Camera. 
             import flash.media.Camera; 
             public var cam:Camera; 
             public var nc:NetConnection; 
             public var ns:NetStream; 

             public function initCamera():void { 
                // Initialize the variable. 
                cam = Camera.getCamera(); 
                myVid.attachCamera(cam); 
                
                nc.connect("rtmp://10.0.1.196:1935/videoApp"); 
                ns.attachCamera(cam); 
                
                ns.publish("testing", "live"); 
                
             } 
        ]]> 
    </mx:Script> 

    <mx:VideoDisplay id="myVid" width="320" height="240" 
creationComplete="initCamera();"/> 
</mx:Application

And I get the error:

TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of a null
object reference.

within my videoApp folder I have a main.asc file, but I’m not really sure
what this is supposed to do and if there is a standard main.asc that I
should be using…

Thank you in advance.
