Camera class 25

Camera.name

Availability

■ Flash Player 6.

■ Flash Media Server (not required).

Usage

public name : String [read-only]

Description

Property (read-only); a string that specifies the name of the current camera, as returned by the

camera hardware.

Example

The following example displays the name of the default camera in a text field and writes the

name to the log file. In Windows, this name is the same as the device name listed in the

Camera Settings 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 v2 component (version 2 of the Macromedia

Component Architecture), use the DepthManager class from the component framework

instead of the

MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method.
