If you have an iSight camera on a Mac try the following:

cam1_cam:Camera = Camera.get(0);
v1_video.attachVideo(cam1_cam);

Does that work? You should be able to see yourself. It should work,
and it will on a PC. However, I cannot get it to work on a Mac -- OS
10.4.2 with a recent iSight software upgrade.

Now try,

cam1_cam:Camera = Camera.get();
v1_video.attachVideo(cam1_cam);

It's the same code except there's no "0" in the .get() parameter. It
will work.

TIA,
Bill

Yes, I see that here. When I do the get(0) it still asks for
permission but there is no video shown in the swf.
Works fine with just get();

Max OS X 10.4.2

Are you sure the ISight is on index 0? My Isight is listed as 'IIDC
FireWire Video' on index 1 and 'DV Video' on 0.. Because it's working
here with Camera.get(1)

Sean/Thijs,

Whatever camera you select in the MM Flash Player Settings becomes
the default Camera.get(0). This is  bug and will show up in
applications where more than a single camera is called for, such as
in security applications. The workaround is:

Camera.get();
Camera.get(1);

Not a biggie, but one that you'll trip over w/o the workaround.

Kindest regards,
Bill

i dont understand the reason for your workaround.. Camera.get()
references to the default Camera, but that Camera stays on whatever
index in Camera.names it is and doesn't move to index 0 as in
Camera.get(0).. Camera.get() could be the same as Camera.get(5)

I don't think there's any relation to the default camera and the
ordering and indexes for camera.get( someNumber );

I think the only thing guaranteed is that camera.get( index ) should
match the array in camera.names.  In other words, the Nth camera in
camera.names should match the one returned from camera.get( sameIndex );

If the order of camera.names is changing due to the user picking a new
default, I can see that causing a problem and it's probably worth filing
a bug, but it will probably be pretty far down the fix list.

Thijs,

Hmmmm. That would seem to defeat the purpose of the index. Let me do
some experiments on my Windows XP where this is not a problem and get
back to you.

Thanks for the insight,
Bill

Sean/Thijs/Dave,

I ran this on my Mac:

var cam_array:Array = Camera.names;
var cam0:Camera= Camera.get();
var cam1:Camera = Camera.get(0);
var cam2:Camera = Camera.get(1);
var cam3:Camera = Camera.get(2);
for (p in cam_array) {
trace(_root["cam"+p].index+" = "+_root["cam"+p].name);
}

and got this output:

2 = IIDC FireWire Video
0 = QuickCam
1 = DV Video
2 = IIDC FireWire Video

On my XP Pro, I got:

1 = USB PC Camera 301P
0 = Creative WebCam (WDM)
1 = USB PC Camera 301P

So what it's really doing is indexing the drivers and not the cameras
per se. I had tested a QuickCam on my Mac once and needed to add a
driver, thus, while the QuickCam driver is indexed as 0, there's no
camera there to play it. So while my iSight was the first camera on
my Mac, why is it the last (driver)? My hunch is that the updates for
iSight push it up.

Thanks,
Bill

FWIW, I got

5 = IIDC FireWire Video
0 = DVCPRO HD (1080i50)
1 = DVCPRO HD (1080i60)
6 = USB Video Class Video
undefined = undefined
undefined = undefined
undefined = undefined

when run through get(6)

Interesting
