We want our users to be able to upload video streams to us, from their webcams. We're planning on using a service like Infuxis to handle the Flash Media Server side of things, but we need a client-side SWF that'll do the actual capturing.

Now, I know a little Flash, but not a lot. Ideally, I'd use an SWF that comes wrapped in a series of JS functions that'll allow me to control the process from within the browser (like this jQuery webcam plugin- but for video). Does anyone know of any?

  • I'm not sure you want to do this. If I got how it works, it streams images to JS. And then you'd want to send those images to the server? I think you'd better do a bit of Action script than adding an intermediate. – Julien Jun 17 '11 at 21:22
  • No, that isn't what I'm asking for- I don't want the upload itself to go through JS- that would still be done in Flash- I'd just have access to some JS functions (i.e. webcam.startRecording(), webcam.stopRecording()) that'll allow me to have the controls in the HTML rather than embedded in the SWF. – Alastair Jun 17 '11 at 21:30
  • Ok, can't help you anyways... – Julien Jun 17 '11 at 21:36

You can check out cameratag.com. It provides a JS API for controlling a flash webcam recorder.

HDFVR is a commercial video recording product developed in Flash (so the final file is a swf file) that - among other features - has a great set of JS and server side APIs:

  • JS control API allows you to control HDFVR from JS
  • JS callback API notifies you about events in the swf (connection succeeded, upload done)
  • PHP/ASP/.NET/etc. server side API allows you to push the video info to the db

Camaratag don't provide such an option so You can download swf file from camaratag and save in local folder and change path in camaratag js 

 swfobject.embedSWF("local_path/camera.swf", dom_id+"_swf_placeholder", "100%", "100%", '11.1.0', 'https://'+appServer+'/'+CameraTag.version+'/expressInstall.swf', flashvars, params, attributes, checkSWF);
