Overview

• jQuery AS3 Webcam, you will be able to make JPEG captures of web camera, all interactions are made thru javascript.
• Javascript callback will receive base64 encoded JPEG image from webcamera.
• Support different webcam resolutions (320x240, 640x480, any).
• Adaptive stage scaling, align options

SWF external interface:

webcam.save() - get base64 encoded JPEG image
webcam.getCameraList() - get list of available cams
webcam.setCamera(i) - set camera, camera index retrieved with getCameraList
webcam.getResolution() - retrieve actual web camera resolution (set width may not equal result width etc)

External triggers on events:

webcam.isClientReady() - you respond to SWF with true (by default) meaning javascript is ready to accept callbacks
webcam.cameraConnected() - camera connected callback from SWF
webcam.noCameraFound() - SWF response that it cannot find any suitable camera
webcam.cameraEnabled() - SWF response when camera tracking is enabled (this is called multiple times, use isCameraEnabled flag)
webcam.cameraDisabled()- SWF response, user denied usage of camera
webcam.swfApiFail()    - Javascript failed to make call to SWF
webcam.debug()         - debug callback used from SWF and can be used from javascript side too

and more...

Why another library?

• Because i could not find an Action Script 3 library for capturing images, there simply was non available.
• Action Script 2 library (i.e. http://www.xarg.org/project/jquery-webcam-plugin/) are slow

Updates

• 2015-10
• Now with zeptojs instead of jquery (faster)
• Now with small xss-check for callTarget, can also use 'allowScriptAccess=sameDomain' in some cases
• Build script tested on MacOSX, recompiled (mxmlc flex 3.6, Latest FF42 & Flash19 works fine)
