I don't have GoogleTalk plugin, actually I am not Google wavy, so I have 
nothing 'Google' on my mac. I don't even have Chrome installed. Just tested in 
Safari and it didn't work.
I do get the same 'camera.muted' status with Safari (no dialog, just a blank 
white screen)

always living across the border, under the mountains :) but had a baby, a baby 
from the mountains ;)

2011-09-19 Thread tom rhodes

yeah started with basic code like that, you on a mac with googletalk plugin
installed? i think it may have something to do with that. if you look at my
code the actual attahcing of the camera is the same. on chrome 14 i get one
Camera.muted from teh status event and then nothing. no dialog or anything.
same behaviour being reported on macs (not got one here).

just outside rome these days man, you across the border in the mountains
still?

video.attachCamera(camera);
addChild(video);

updated to include a dropdown of all camera's on the system, and a button to

right now, if it only finds one camera it will attempt to attach it, if it

hey cedric if you've got code that you think 100% works on everything send
it on and i'll put it up on the link. i thought that too :)

after googling i've found stuff about looping through character names and
attaching google cameras to video objects offstage, or pulling out the name
for the usb cam on a mac if on mac OS, or even just using index 2 for the
mac. all seem a bit hacky to me. this is somethign that has worked in flash
fine for a LONG time, that now appears to be broken. what's up?

Could you drop the 'if (stage) init' line ?

2011-09-19 Thread Deepanjan Das

Hi Tom,
I used the code for web camera below and the latest version of flash player
- 10.3.183.7:

private function showCameraLists():void
{
var cam:Camera = Camera.getCamera();
if(cam == null){
ExternalInterface.call('alert', "No Web Camera found!");
return;
}
var camNames:Array = Camera.names;
var index:Number = 0;
for ( var i : int = 0 ; i < camNames.length ; i++ ) {
if (camNames[i] == "USB Video Class Video" ) {
index = i;
}
}
if(index > 0){
createCamera(index.toString());
}else{
createCamera();
}
}

private function createCamera( cameraIndex:String=null ):void
{
webcam = Camera.getCamera( cameraIndex );
webcam.setMode( cameraWidth, cameraHeight, cameraFrameRate, true
);
webcam.setMotionLevel(70, 2000);

webcam.addEventListener( ActivityEvent.ACTIVITY,
onCameraActivity, false, 0, true );
webcam.addEventListener( StatusEvent.STATUS, onCameraStatus );

videoMatrix = new Matrix();
videoMatrix.a = -1; // scale(-1, 0); // flip horizontal assuming
that scaleX is currently 1
videoMatrix.tx = this.cameraWidth;

video = new Video( webcam.width, webcam.height );
video.attachCamera( webcam );
}

Dear Tom,
I recently developing an AR apps and my clients also face the same problem.
I asked them to update their flash player to 10.3.183.7


Check MAC flash player version by visiting the page -
http://www.adobe.com/software/flash/about/

That solved the problem.

The probable cause for the same may be due to latest OS upgrade and flash
player upgrade.
