Camera.get() error

[luwi]

Hello,

I have an application uses webcam. But always, when I use Camera.get() command and my webcam is not connected to the computer, flash fails with message "Macromedia Flash Player 7.0 r19 has encountered a problem and needs to close. We are sorry for the inconvenience." And does not matter, if I run it from browser or just run swf.

Do any of you know, where could be a problem?

Many thanks
Ludvik

Hi,

While using the webcamera...Its better to check whether the camera exists or not and then proceed with the rest of code..else it will give the error..

mycam = Camera.get();//get the default camera
if (mycam == null)
{
//cam doesnt exist
}
else
{
//proceed with the program...
}

Thanks..
