http://www.SillyWebcam.com lets you take snapshots (digital static
pictures) in fun effects and templates or play motion sensing games.
SillyWebcam.com is finally working for saving images again (wouldn't
let you save images) and you can take snapshots again (save as JPG).
Now it uses Flash 10 and ActionScript 3 and uses the users PC to
process the image instead of my server needing to do heavy ASP/PHP
processing. I also added a few new effects. I also made some of the
webcam video effects able to take snap shots and save as JPEG files
too! Eventually all the webcam games and video effects will allow you
to save...
This was a big task as basically everything I spent years learning up
to Macromedia Flash 8 (I started with Flash 4) were all wasted as most
my scripts (source code FLA files) will not work in Adobe Flash 10,
even the programming words/phrases are different and can handle
different variables. I have been having to relearn how to make Flash
content, it's been frustrating feeling like it will all be useless
again in a few years (sure Adobe will keep things the same and just
add new features, they bought out another company Macromedia and
wanted to make it their way, I would too).
Sample Flash AS3 code to view a webcam:
var cam:Camera = Camera.getCamera();
var video:Video = new Video(480,360);
video.attachCamera(cam);
video.x = 0;
video.y = 0;
addChild(video);
