Webcam + MX
I have done this tutorial and run into a problem

http://www.flashkit.com/tutorials/Dy...32/index.shtml

It does work and loads the jpg. But it does not update every 5 minutes (like i have setup the cam prog.)
Instead, it crashes seriously the browser after a while...

In the html version, it just works outstanding, so it can not be wrong on the server side.

Any idea what i could do?

Thanks for any help

Help With Webcam App
this is the code i have so far:

stop();
client_nc = new NetConnection();
client_nc.connect("rtmp://webchaos.dnip.net/cam1");
cam_stream = new NetStream(client_nc);
cam_stream.attachVideo(camera.get());
cam_stream.publish("user");
cam_stream2 = new NetStream(client_nc);
cam_stream2.play("user");
feed.attachVideo(cam_stream2);

that broadcasts the 1st webcam to opens the swf to all the others that open the swf. how can i set it up so that all web cams that connect to the app get their own video component and broadcast to everyone else who is connectted?

Using A Webcam / Eye Toy?
Hi, I was just wondering if it was possible to make something like the Eye Toy games on the PS2 in Flash?

The games use a web cam to display the user on the screen and then track their movements, allowing the user to interact with the objects on the screen.

Would this be possible with Flash?

If not does anyone know what app could do this?

Thanks.

More Than One Webcam?
Hi, I was thinking about some fun experiments and interactive demos I could do for uni using webcams and detecting motion - but since webcams in flash can't breakdown the detection of motion to individual quadrants of the feed it limits some of teh fun can be had - So I was just wondering whether multiple webcams could be hooked up to flash? I can't see how it would be done, but I was hoping someone might know.

Thanks

Webcam And H.264
Hello everybody,

We use FMS for videoconferencing and, as far as I know, FMS 3 does not support H.264 encoding from a webcam source. I does support H.264 playback, but, for now, that is all.

I'm wondering if some third party sellers have a solution for this. If so, has anybody tried any of them? Does anybody know if and when FMS will support H.264 encoding form a webcam source for videoconferencing?

Thanks!

How To Add Webcam?
hi. can anyone help me with this one..

Webcam
Does anyone have a clue how to incorporate a webcam into a flash? I ask this because when you right click a flash, and go to proporties, it asks if this application should have use to your webcam, and I think that would be really sweet to have a tv playing in the background with "yourself" in it. It would be kinda freaky :P

WebCam Via Flash Mx Help
Hiya experts,
I tired using dynamic loading of jpg to implement a webcam feature. Heres hows it is suppose to work:

webcam ->home pc -> web host-> internet users
capture -> webcam.jpg -> upload to host-> internet users

webcam.jpg will keep changing/overwriting itself
The code:
=================================================
url = "cam.jpg";
counter = 2;
function update() {
newmovie = "JPG" + counter++;
duplicateMovieClip("JPG", newmovie, counter);
loadMovie(url, newmovie);
}
=================================================
the function will then update itself (in a loop)

the .swf works fine locally on my pc (changing the webcam.jpg very few sec)

The problem:
however when i upload the .swf to my webhost somehow the the flash file keep recognising the "old webcam.jpg" The image changes only when I close the browser and reload the flash file.

how can i/what must I do to make it such that the dynamic jpg changing happens automatically?

pls advice thank you.

Webcam Video?
Hello all,

I'm new to flash MX, and am looking at some of the new features.

Does anyone know how to capture webcam video in the goal of creating a chat client/server that can transmit video and audio to another user?

It appears to be a function built into flash MX, however it eludes me as to how to use it. If anyone knows how to do this, has any examples, links or source code it would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance,

FlashMX Webcam
Hey people,
Just a quick one. Whats the best way to get a webcam running via flash? Does it have to be the comm server way or is there a flash script that will do it?

If it's not possible to stream it does anyone have a good script that will get the latest image from a folder on my server and refresh say every 10 seconds?

Cheers for the help

Allow 'my Url' To Access Webcam?
ok, this might be a daft question, but when you right click a flash movie, it brings up the settings menu....

In the 'privacy' tab, it says "Allow 'my url' to access your camera and microphone?.... Allow or Deny"....

Well this flash movie is hosted on 'my url', so how do I access their camera and microphone....?

Just an idea I'm thinking about... how is this useful? what's the point?

Webcam Solution
Hi
I want to build or outsource a webcam component for my asp.net application. I intend to do this using flash and flash media server.

Requirement:
The purpose is to interview candidates. The candidate will be interviewed via webcam with voice. This interview has to be recorded as a file on the server for future playback and review.

Questions
1) Is it possible to communicate between flash streaming server and iis since the registered users will be using the application?
2) I have some knowledge of flash but not action script. In your opinion, how easy or difficult it will be for me to build this solution myself?
3) If I plan to outsource this to someone with good knowledge of flash, action script and fms, how much effort does he require. i.e approx how many hours work. I want to know this because I can get an idea of what to pay him.
4) Any links that would help me with the above issues will be welcome.

[F8] Webcam & Flash
Hi There,

I am a Flash beginner and as part of a college project I am trying to use a webcam to detect people's movements on a street and then use that input to create, manipulate and direct the movement of animations (created in Flash). I have found a number of tutorials which check for a change in a pixels colour to detect movement, however, I can't figure out what valuable is provided (i.e. pixel number etc). In other words, how do I use the information provided by the webcam to affect my animations?

Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Video Webcam
Hi,

I want to make the video I get from my webcam greyscale.

I have this working code which turns an image in a mc greyscale:

import flash.filters.ColorMatrixFilter;

var mat:Array = [ .33,.33,.33,0,0,
.33,.33,.33,0,0,
.33,.33,.33,0,0,
0,0,0,1,0 ];
var colorMat:ColorMatrixFilter = new ColorMatrixFilter(mat);
clip.filters = [colorMat];

But trying this with the video code isn't working, any ideas??

import flash.filters.ColorMatrixFilter;

my_cam = Camera.get();

var mat:Array = [
.33,.33,.33,0,0,
.33,.33,.33,0,0,
.33,.33,.33,0,0,
0,0,0,1,0
];
var colorMat:ColorMatrixFilter = new ColorMatrixFilter(mat);
my_video.attachVideo (my_cam);
my_video.filters = [colorMat];

Webcam Resolution
hi all

I want to be able to capture the video from the same webcam in 2 video objects and give them 2 seperate resolutions - 320x240 and 160x120. They will both be displayed at 320x240 but I need 1 of them to be quite pixelated. I have written the following code but both video objects are pixelated. I think it is due to the fact that the Camera.get() is called twice. Does anyone know a way round this?

Code:
cam = Camera.get();
vid.attachVideo(cam);
cam.setMode(320, 240, 24, true);
var camMatrix:Matrix = new Matrix(2,0,0,2,0,0);

cam2 = Camera.get();
vid2.attachVideo(cam2);
cam2.setMode(160, 120, 24, true);
var camMatrix2:Matrix = new Matrix(1,0,0,1,0,0);

XML Webcam Capture
Hi everyone. Im trying to capture the (raw)data output of my webcam to feed into a socket and hopefully replay in another swf.

My first step is trying to capture the raw data. My attempts have been unsuccessful. I have tried:

Code:
trace(camera.get());
trace(camera.get(1));
obviously looped to get continuous data however this echoes [object Object] How can I view the raw data or is this not possible? is there another way to do what im trying to do? or is it impossible?
