Lately I’m trying to learn a bit of Flash/actionscript programming.

The project I’m involved in requires the use of a webcam, but unfortunately webcam selection in flash ain’t easy.
You have to enter the settings window, go to the webcam tab and select the right input source. If you have Flash 9 player you’re done, otherwise you have to allow webcam access to the application everytime you want to use it:-(

So I created this simple object that helps you selecting your webcam. And saving the right settings (again, only if you have flash player 9)

I’f you find it useful or just want to take a look at the code please write me.

Update: I removed the Flash object from this page because of rendering problems on some browsers (problem it’s not mine, please blame wordpress!)
