Camera 395

name (Camera.name property)

public name : String [read-only]

A string that specifies the name of the current camera, as returned by the camera hardware.

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 6

Example

The following example displays the name of the default camera in a text field. In Windows,

this name is the same as the device name listed in the Scanners and Cameras Control Panel.

Create a new video instance by selecting New Video from the Library options menu. Add an

instance to the Stage and give it the instance name

my_video. Then add the following

ActionScript to Frame 1 of the Timeline:

var my_cam:Camera = Camera.get();

var my_video:Video;

my_video.attachVideo(my_cam);

this.createTextField("name_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 0, 0, 100,

22);

name_txt.autoSize = true;

name_txt.text = my_cam.name;

The MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method used in this example requires Flash Player

7 or later. If your SWF file includes a version 2 component, use the version 2 components

DepthManager class instead of the

MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method.
