can this be done in AS3

I’m using this right now:

```auto
var bandwidth:int = 0;
var quality:int = 100;
var camera:Camera = Camera.getCamera();
camera.setQuality(bandwidth, quality);
camera.setMode(320,240,30,false);
var video:Video = new Video();
video.attachCamera(camera);
addChild(Video);

```

but i want to be able to see the video box on screen it’s attached to so i can work around it… any suggestions

btw I’ve been looking at camera tutorials online and searched here (so sorry if it’s been covered like a million times but i couldn’t find anywhere)
