Capturing camera feed without FMS?

Question

Hi, I'm not sure if this is the appropriate place to post this, but I was wandering its possible to build your own Player in Flash?

The situation is: I have an external digital camera, and i need to capture its contents and display it in a player/window. This will all be on a local machine. I don't need to record anything, or stream it to other machines..... I just need the player to be able to display what ever the camera is displaying. Kind of like the Live Encoder (input and output views). With that I could hopefuly embed the player into other applications.

Can this be done without having to involve the FSM?

If so, can anyone point me to some tutorials on that?

Many thanks!

Assuming the camera has a driver that the flashplayer recognizes as a camera device, sure, you can do this without FMS.

you'll use the flash.media.Camera class to access the camera, and then you can use the attachCamera() method of the Video object class to display the camera in the screen.
