Camera class
Availability
Flash Player 6.
Description
The Camera class is primarily for use with Macromedia Flash Communication Server, but can be
used in a limited fashion without the server.
The Camera class lets you capture video from a video camera attached to the computer that is
running the Macromedia Flash Player—for example, to monitor a video feed from a web camera
attached to your local system. (Flash provides similar audio capabilities; for more information, see
the Microphone class entry.)
To create or reference a Camera object, use
Camera.get().
