Hi,

Can anyone confirm if it is actually possible to use the front facing camera on an I Phone from a Flash created App?

I am using:

var cam:Camera = Camera.getCamera();

And it wil display the camera on the screen, but rotated 90 degrees and only the main camera.

Many thanks for your time.

It's asking for a "name" of the camera, which can be an index. It defaults to index 0 which is the main (back) camera. Set it to "1" and it will use the front camera.

Thanks for the link and the tip. Worked perfectly.

And if anyone else want to use the fromt facing camera you may need to rotate the video.

video.rotation = 90;
