Flex Webcam thinggy part II
July 13th, 2007
Ok, so we had some complaints from people about version one. They couldn’t really see what it could be used for, so we strapped it to the excelent component from Quietly Scheming and hey presto! Check it out here…
p.s. you need a webcam to make it work!!! Failing that, just plug in a camcorder to your computer, and change your webcam settings within flash. For macs with built in isight, right click on flash, go to settings, select the camera settings and select USB.

Hi! Very nice work.
Do you mind if I ask how you’re flipping the video? I’m trying to achieve the same.
I just can’t mirror the VideoDisplay! I’m thinknig maybe you’re not actually directly displaying the VideoDisplay you’ve attached the camera to and in fact you’re taking a snapshot, mirroring it while it’s a BitmapData, and then painting it. I tried that too but couldn’t get it to work.
Any advice much appreciated!

Hi Ian, you can find the source code to the displayshelf at http://www.quietlyscheming.com/blog/
Let me know if you can’t find it there and I’ll try and dig it out,

Hi there,
Is there a chance to get the flex code for the movement detection. I was playing around with the camera.addEventListener (Activity and StatusEvent) but didn’t find a way to detect hand movements.
Thanks for any hints.
