Hello everyone,

I'm just starting with ActionScript and I want to make an app, but I'm wondering that what I'm thinking of is even possible.

Is it possible to make an app that receives a live stream from my desktop??

Hmmm... maybe but probably not. It would depend if the lvie stream you refer to is being broadcast to some server that Flash could read from. What are you trying to do? You do have access to the camera and such 'inside' Flash...

Well it's a complicated story so here it goes:

I'm an intern in a automatisation & domotics company, I made a communication between Flash and a processor the company uses. My flash app shows a movieclip with a picture on it and this movieclip can be skewed by an input of 4 coordinates which the app receives from the processor.

Now instead of a picture i would like to skew my desktop, maybe it's possible to stream my desktop to this movieclip, i don't know because i'm just starting with Flash. Hoping you can tell me =)

So i want to be able to scale and skew a desktop stream in flash, doesn't has to be with this movieclip of course
