Is it possible to use the heart rate monitor hardware (camera and flash) in actionscript 3? If so could someone link me as to how to access it and use it’s output (i.e. pulse result) for as information?

The heart rate monitor that most android phones use, by using the camera and flash.

AS3 doesn’t have a built in way to do that, no. I think at best, you could find or build a native extension to operate the flash/camera, or operate them via AS3 and write your own heart monitoring code. Both routes will be difficult, unless you can find someone out there who’s already done it.
