Example
In the following example, an error message could be displayed if my_cam.muted evaluates to 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);
}
};
