Can someone help me with this?

All I want to know is how to display whatever my webcam is seeing in Flash on a movieclip. I’ve searched the forums and most of it is other people wanting to recreate the Fire Effect thats on a few different sites, I just want to know how to put whatever my webcam is viewing into a box on a Flash document.

Thanks in advance !

(also, is there a simple Video Component in Flash8? If there is I cant find it…)
