Question

Webcam Snapshot

I'm trying to figure out how to capture a still photo from a webcam within my CF webform, and then take that image and manipulate it in cold fusion.  I've played around with the <cfimage> tag and am able to manipulate images to my liking but I'm missing the piece on how to capture an image from a webcam (I'm assuming flash is the only way to access the webcam). Does anyone have any sample code they'd be willing to share or willing to point me in the right direction?

The web app I'm trying to write will capture and image from a webcam and overlay that picture on an ID card template I've created.  The final output is one image of the template and the ID Photo.

Any help would be appreciated!
