favorArea:Boolean [optional] - A Boolean value that specifies how to manipulate the width,

height, and frame rate if the camera does not have a native mode that meets the specified

requirements. The default value is

true, which means that maintaining capture size is

favored; using this parameter selects the mode that most closely matches

width and height

values, even if doing so adversely affects performance by reducing the frame rate. To maximize

frame rate at the expense of camera height and width, pass

false for the favorArea

parameter.

Example

The following example sets the camera capture mode. You can type a frame rate into a

TextInput instance and press Enter or Return to apply the frame rate. 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. Add a TextInput component instance with the

instance name fps_ti. 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);

fps_ti.maxChars = 2;

fps_ti.restrict = [0-9];

fps_lbl.text = "Current: "+my_cam.fps+" fps";

function changeFps():Void {

my_cam.setMode(my_cam.width, my_cam.height, fps_ti.text);

fps_lbl.text = "Current: "+my_cam.fps+" fps";

fps_ti.text = my_cam.fps;

Selection.setSelection(0,2);

}

fps_ti.addEventListener("enter", changeFps);
