Hi Folks...

I was running some sample code for a 2 way chat app. It was recomended that 2 cameras be used, well there is a built in camera in my laptop so I fixed up an external webcam as the 2nd cam. I have alreay published the two fla files as webpages. When I invoke both these html files, the video feed is only from the built in camera. How do I tell the system to use the external webcam for one of the html files? Hope someone can advise. Thanks.

    There are two ways:

    1. If you right click on the Flash object, you'll get a context menu. Select "settings", and then click on the camera tab.

    2. If you want a button in your UI to do this, see the actionscript docs for the showSettings method of the flash.system.Security class
