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:

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...

...and I'm not sure it will work with larger images very well.
