true. 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);

my_cam.onStatus = function(infoObj:Object) {

if (my_cam.muted) {

/* If user is denied access to their Camera,

you can display an error message here.

You can display the user's Camera/Privacy settings

again using System.showSettings(0).*/

trace("User denied access to Camera");

System.showSettings(0);

}

};
