Switch to Usb camera rather than default camera

[Benson Tan]

Hi,

Here is another question, Currently, my flarmanager runs at my laptop
camera. However, I would like it to run on my usb camera. Is there a
way to do that?

Thanks
Benson

You could just Ctrl+Click on the swf when it's playing in your browser
and swap it in your Flash settings...

Or the proper way of doing it would be along the lines of getting the
mac camera:

private function setupCamera():void
{
vid = new Video(640, 480);
var camIndex:int = 0;
for (var i : int = 0 ; i < Camera.names.length ; i++ ) {
if (Camera.names[ i ] == "USB Video Class Video" ) {
camIndex = i;
break;
}
}
cam = Camera.getCamera(String(camIndex));
cam.setMode(320, 240, 30);
vid.attachCamera(cam);
addChild(vid);

you can manually specify a camera index:

FLARCameraSource(FLARManager.flarSource).cameraIndex = 1;

(replace 1 with whatever index your USB cam is. probably easiest to just use trial and error, or you can look at Camera.names.)

there is another way, although somewhat more of a bypass really...

open DeviceManager and disable all other cameras.
