Camera class
19
Usage
active_cam
.index
Description
Property (read-only); a zero-based integer that specifies the index of the camera, as reflected in
the array returned by
Camera.names
.
Example
The following example displays an array of cameras in a text field that is created at runtime,
and tells you which camera you are currently using. 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
. Add a Label component instance to the Stage and give it the
instance name
camera_lbl
. Then add the following ActionScript to Frame 1 of the Timeline:
var camera_lbl:mx.controls.Label;
var my_cam:Camera = Camera.get();
var my_video:Video;
my_video.attachVideo(my_cam);
camera_lbl.text = my_cam.index+". "+my_cam.name;
this.createTextField("cameras_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 25, 160,
160, 80);
cameras_txt.html = true;
cameras_txt.border = true;
cameras_txt.wordWrap = true;
cameras_txt.multiline = true;
for (var i = 0; i<Camera.names.length; i++) {
cameras_txt.ht= "<li><u><a
href=\"asfunction:changeCamera,"+i+"\">"+Camera.names[i]+"</a></u></
li>";
}
function changeCamera(index:Number) {
my_cam = Camera.get(index);
my_video.attachVideo(my_cam);
camera_lbl.text = my_cam.index+". "+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.
