RE: [flexcoders] Camera.get([index]); useing mutiple cameras

[Andrew Trice]

I only have one camera, so I never tried it.  I’ve got flash player 9.0.16, but it looks like the error is still happening (although I found a workaround).   I changed my code to:   var arr: Array = Camera.names; trace(arr[0]); camera = Camera.getCamera(arr[0]); trace(Camera.getCamera(arr[0].toString()));               … and it returned null every time.     I also started playing with it and did this…   trace(Camera.getCamera("0")); camera = Camera.getCamera("0");   …and it gave a valid reference to the camera.  Try using the string representation of the camera index, instead of the camera name.   Looks like this is still a bug in the player, but this could be a hack-ish workaround for it.   _____________________________________ Andrew Trice Cynergy Systems, Inc. http://www.cynergysystems.com   Blog: http://www.cynergysystems.com/blogs/page/andrewtrice Email: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Office: 866-CYNERGY    From: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Jeremy Lu Sent: Tuesday, August 08, 2006 11:52 AM To: flexcoders@yahoogroups.com Subject: Re: [flexcoders] Camera.get([index]); useing mutiple cameras   to willburforce: I ran into this problem several days ago, trying something like this var arr:Array = Camerag.names; Camera.getCamera( arr[1] ); note it's "getCamera()" not "get()". as the menu says, the sigature of the Camera.getCamera() is public static function getCamera( name:String =null ):Camera but it failed me everytime when I try to assign a camera name to the method (I have four webcams attached to the box) Interestingly, the manual seems to suggest not passing any name to the method, instead, let user choose which camera to use via setting panel (which is not an option in the current video conference project). to Andrew: In your example, you were using "getCamera()" with no parameter passed in, could you please confirm if you can assign different names to it ? thanks.
