Working with the Camera Class - Part 3: Publishing a Live Stream
By: Robert Reinhardt on Friday, February 16, 2007
Reader Level: 
In this "Working with" series, you learn how to use the Camera class in Flash Player. The Camera class has been available in Flash Player since version 6, yet many Flash designers and developers don't know much about it. The Camera class gives you access to the user's webcam, to do everything from publishing a live video stream to detecting movement in the camera frame. In this tutorial, you learn how to use the NetStream.publish() method to send an audio and video feed from your webcam to a Flash Media Server application.
SPECIAL OFFER: The first twenty readers of this tutorial to send me an e-mail either via the feedback form at the end of this tutorial or to robert@communitymx.com will receive a free time-limited Flash Media Server account at Influxis. You can use this account to publish live video streams. Please allow one to three days for me to verify your subscriber (or pay per use) status with Community MX.
