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 ;)
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?

hey ya tom!
still does not work :(
did you try the following overbasic code ? (works here)
var video:Video = new Video(640, 480);
var camera:Camera = Camera.getCamera();
camera.setMode(640, 480, 30);
video.attachCamera(camera);
addChild(video);

updated to include a dropdown of all camera's on the system, and a
button
to
kick them off with.
right now, if it only finds one camera it will attempt to attach it,
if
it
finds more than one it will wait for you to select which one you
want
to
use
and then click start webcam button.
this fails for me in chrome v 14, and i'm told on a mac in any

Hi Tom,

- 10.3.183.7:

{
var cam:Camera = Camera.getCamera();
if(cam == null){
ExternalInterface.call('alert', No Web Camera found!);
return;

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 );

Re: [Flashcoders] webcam wackiness...
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?

Re: [Flashcoders] webcam wackiness...
hey ya tom!
still does not work :(
did you try the following overbasic code ? (works here)
var video:Video = new Video(640, 480);
var camera:Camera = Camera.getCamera();
camera.setMode(640, 480, 30);
video.attachCamera(camera);
addChild(video);
hth,

ps: still in Roma ?
http://46.4.226.29/camtest/
updated to include a dropdown of all camera's on the system, and a button to
kick them off with.
right now, if it only finds one camera it will attempt to attach it, if it
finds more than one it will wait for you to select which one you want to use
and then click start webcam button.
this fails for me in chrome v 14, and i'm told on a mac in any browser.

yeah started with basic code like that, you on a mac with googletalk plugin

Camera.muted from teh status event and then nothing. no dialog or anything.
same behaviour being reported on macs (not got one here).

Doesn't work for me, Mac, Safari 5.1 and Flash Player 10.3.181.14
Could you drop the 'if (stage) init' line ?
(I am asking because I have plenty of webcam examples, and they do
work)
hth,

hey all,
i want to confirm that this...
Re: [Flashcoders] webcam wackiness...
anyone got any ideas why this script is failing on so many machines?
2011/9/19 Cédric Muller flashco...@benga.li
yes, it works
ok cheers for the testing, does the simple script work for you in a
browser?
2011/9/19 Cédric Muller flashco...@benga.li
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 ;)
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?
2011/9/19 Cédric Muller flashco...@benga.li
hey ya tom!
still does not work :(
did you try the following overbasic code ? (works here)
var video:Video = new Video(640, 480);
var camera:Camera = Camera.getCamera();
camera.setMode(640, 480, 30);
video.attachCamera(camera);
addChild(video);
hth,
Cedric
ps: still in Roma ?

updated to include a dropdown of all camera's on the system, and a
button
to
kick them off with.
right now, if it only finds one camera it will attempt to attach it,
if
it
finds more than one it will wait for you to select which one you want
to
use
and then click start webcam button.
this fails for me in chrome v 14, and i'm told on a mac in any
browser.

i want to confirm that this... http://46.4.226.29/camtest/ does not work on a mac, and in chrome 14 beta on the pc? It didn't work on my Mac (Lion, latest version of Chrome stable).

Re: [Flashcoders] webcam wackiness...
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.
Warm Regards
