I’m using a web-cam to capture the color of an object, I want to know if there’s a way to determine the color of a certain pixel from the feed of a web-cam in Flash MX 2004. If it’s possible, how exactly would I go about doing it? Thanks! 😃 ---

getPixel ! getPixel (x, y) and it will tell you the color of that pixel! ---

pantas, thanks, but that’s a Flash 8-only feature. I posted this in Flash MX 2004 for a reason.
