That is essentially the new task - recently added to my growing list
of priorities.

How to capture an image from a Webcam and passing it on to ColdFusion
for processing. Think like a Flash capture - like taking a photo with
a webcam and letting CF deal with the image.

Trick is server has no webcam.... So difficult to test. BUT! I have my
wonderful notebook for testing - not a "server" issue for the
processing but how to capture an image. Ah-lah Passport photo.

I did something like this YEARS ago with Macromedia Flash
Communication Server but ....

Any ideas?

need ATM lol!

Just use flex. You don’t need flash media server.

Use the flash.media.Camera library to create a little app that hooks
into the webcam to take a photo and then push the binary data up to
the server using remoting

Negatory

All that is part of Flex 3 so it is readily available
