Re: [flexcoders] Camera object
Andy, Did you get an answer elsewhere on this question that you posted last month? If not, this technote might be helpful: http://www.adobe.com/go/tn_16454 The technote is dated March 19, 2003 and titled Common Questions about Macromedia Flash Communication Server. I am pasting at the end two relevant excerpts. fyi ... two non-webcam options I believe can be detected by the Camera object are Osprey streaming cards and Camtasia. You can find more on each of these at, respectively: http://viewcast.com/news/current/press040419.htm http://www.techsmith.com/learn/camtasia/current/general/1507.asp If you have further questions on details related to the Camera object you might want to try the FlashComm list at: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcomm The FlashComm list is very well subscribed by developers who frequently work with the Camera object :-) hth, g EXCERPTS FROM TECHNOTE tn_16454 How is the video captured? Video is captured by the Macromedia Flash Player. The Flash Player can acquire video from anything that has a WDM Video Capture Driver. This includes almost all web cameras, DV cameras and video capture boards. It even includes screen grab utilities like Camtasia. In fact, the Flash Player can even acquire from multiple video sources at the same time. For streaming video from your DVD player, all that is required is a video capture board that has a WDM Video Capture Driver. Is there a special video capture card or devices required? The capture card just needs to have a WDM Video Capture Driver. This is simple to test: open the camera settings dialog in the Flash Player on the system in question and see if the card appears in the list of video sources. To open this dialog, make sure you have Macromedia Flash Player 6, right-click while viewing some kind of Flash content, select Settings, then click the camera icon.

Webcams work great, but what if I have other devices that stream video content? Is there a specification anywhere that states the interface/criteria that the device must adhere to in order to be detected by the flash player? Currently, I only have a webcam connected to my machine and I am wondering what else I can connect. Will a camcorder work? Will a video capture/tv decoder card work? In the windows device manager, I see my webcam listed in the "Imaging devices" category… Does any hardware that is detected by the OS as an "Imaging device" work within the flash player?

Re: [flexcoders] Camera object
I tried Sony DV camcoder, software caputre driver and TV tuner card several years ago (when flashcom came out), they all worked. Even tried to use DV cam in a room-based video conference application and it's working very well.
