NetStream.attachVideo()
Availability
■ Flash Player 6.
■ Flash Communication Server MX 1.0.
Usage
public attachVideo(source : Camera [, snapShotMilliseconds : Number])
Parameters
source The source of the video transmission. Valid values are a Camera object (which starts
capturing video) and
null. If you pass null, Flash stops capturing video, and any additional
parameters you send are ignored.
snapShotMilliseconds An optional integer that specifies whether the video stream is
continuous, a single frame, or a series of single frames used to create time-lapse photography.
■ If this parameter is omitted, Flash captures all video until you issue
my_ns.attachVideo(null).
■ If you pass 0, Flash captures only a single video frame. Use this value to transmit
“snapshots” within a preexisting stream.
■ If you pass a positive number, Flash captures a single video frame and then appends a
pause of length
snapShotMilliseconds as a “trailer” on the snapshot. Use this value to
create time-lapse photography effects.
Returns
Nothing.
Description
Method; starts capturing video from the specified source, or stops capturing if source is
null. This method is available only to the publisher of the specified stream.
NOTE
Flash interprets invalid, negative, or nonnumeric arguments as 0.
