Rotate Camera Feed 90 Degrees

First of all, you can get rid of all those 'this.' in your code. AS3 doesn't have scope issues like as2 did. I have not had to use this for years aside from one or two edge cases.

Also you should set your camera frame rate to something like 24 or 30 - stage frame rate which is typically 60 is too  much for cam.

Anyway, does the code you use there not work? It's not rotating?

What I do for camera control (and I pretty much make photo booths for a living) is to make a video object like you did, attach the camera - and then not put video on stage. Leave it sit in memory and then image it, in an update loop, into a bitmap that is on stage.

This way you can easily rotate it, flip it, add overlays, etc.

simple example:

cam = Camera.getCamera();

cam.setMode(1280, 865, 24);

theVideo = new Video(1280, 865);

camData = new BitmapData(1280, 865);

camBMP = new Bitmap(camData);

theVideo.attachCamera(cam);

addChild(camBMP);

camTimer = new Timer(1000 / 24); //24 fps cam update

camTimer.addEventListener(TimerEvent.TIMER, camUpdate);

camTimer.start();

private function camUpdate(e:TimerEvent):void

{

  camBMP.draw(theVideo, null, null, null, null, true);

}
