Camera class

Availability

Flash Player 6.

Description

The Camera class is primarily for use with Macromedia Flash Communication Server, but can be used in a limited way without the server.

The Camera class lets you capture video from a video camera attached to the computer that is running Macromedia Flash Player–for example, to monitor a video feed from a web camera attached to your local system. (Flash provides similar audio capabilities; for more information, see the [color=#0000ff]Microphone class[/color] entry.)

**Warning: **When a SWF file tries to access the camera returned by [color=#0000ff]Camera.get()[/color], Flash Player displays a Privacy dialog box that lets the user choose whether to allow or deny access to the camera. (Make sure your Stage size is at least 215 x 138 pixels for the Camera class examples; this is the minimum size Flash requires to display the dialog box.)

To create or reference a Camera object, use [color=#0000ff]Camera.get()[/color].
