As already stated, Flash (since player 8) allows you to manipulate bitmaps via it's BitmapData Class.
You can process each pixel of a MovieClip (containing the video symbol with the webcam video attached) and then send it to a server side script like PHP to save the image file. An example of (kind of) such thing can be found at: http://www.sephiroth.it/tutorials/flashPHP/print_screen/ It's done with a video player but it can be done with a webcam too with minimum adjustments.

I'm working on a digital photo booth. The idea is that with a webcam and a touch screen, I can save a still image from the camera back to a server and then do other fun things with it from there. I thought FMS2 could save images from webcams, but now I'm finding that it's only video. Great. I could just capture short videos and then work out some way to convert them with ffmpeg, but that sounds like a big pain. Has anyone done similar with success? This needs to run on Windows btw. I recall some demos which used AS3/FP9 to create BitmapData objects and send them back to the server somehow, which were then processed and saved as normal images. Has anyone come up with a stabilized package for doing this sort of thing? All I'm finding now is this... http://www.quasimondo.com/archives/000572.php ...and I'm not sure it will work with larger images very well. thanks, -josh _______________________________________________ [email protected] To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
