I'm using the adobe Camera class the camera on xoom.  However i'm running into two issues that i've listed below.   Thanks in advance.

1.  I want to be able to use the front facing camera but the only the back camera is accessible.  I tried to set the android manifest in my app xml to but it doesn't seem to work.

     <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.CAMERA" />

     <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera"/>

     <uses-feature android:name="android.hardware.camera.front"/>

2.  When i pipe the video image from the camera to a Video control the image white balance is all out of whack.  everything looks      washed out in office lighting and anthing that white.  Is there a camera setting to adjust this?

AIR doesn't support the front-facing camera on Android yet.

Please file a bug about the white balance issue at http:www.adobe.com/go/wish

Thanks!

Any idea when the front facing camera support is coming? It was stated that the only reason there was no support for it was due to the lack of the OS supporting it. However the front facing camera has been supported since gingerbread, and from what i understand 2.6 adds support for honeycomb, so front facing camera support is lagging a little behind and is an incredibly desired feature.
