Hi Everyone.

experienced similar problems but I have yet to come across a solution. =
I've
tried 3 different boards (Hauppauge TV tuner, Winnov Videum and an =

var myvid:Video; //where my_video is a Video object on the Stage
var active_cam:Camera =3D Camera.get();
myvid.attachVideo(active_cam);

Does it display anything at all? Such as solid black?

Try changing the resolution via setMode, that's the only way I managed to
get a feed from my DV cam.
my_camera = Camera.get();
my_camera.setMode(720, 568, 12,true);
trace (my_camera.name);
vidObj.attachVideo(my_camera);

Hi Everyone.

I've been working on a project for a few weeks now where I'm trying to play
a video signal that comes from a capture board through the Flash Player.
The Flash Player recognizes the board as a camera but will not display the
pass through signal. I've read number of articles where some have
experienced similar problems but I have yet to come across a solution. I've
tried 3 different boards (Hauppauge TV tuner, Winnov Videum and an Osprey
230) where all gave me the same result. The AS in its simplest form is

var myvid:Video; //where my_video is a Video object on the Stage var
active_cam:Camera = Camera.get(); myvid.attachVideo(active_cam);

I've tried a number of variations in the code with no success as well.

(As a side, I apologize for posting this to the FlashComm thread since it is
clearly a Flash issue, but I figured this group would have more experience
with live video and my project will hopefully evolve into a FlashComm one.)

My next step is to drop $99 for a Macromedia single incident support but was
hoping someone here could help me out first.

Is your system XP Pro with SP 2? If so, Microsoft changed=
something in the service pack that interferres with the Flash=
player recognizing firewire DV cameras. Could that be it?

Good luck,

I had success using an ATI all-in-wonder card a year or 2 back. The
trick was that in order to get an image in flash, I had to have the ATI
monitor app running (software that came with the card). Otherwise, I'd
just get a blue screen in flash. This might not be the problem you're
experiencing but thought it might be worth mentioning.
