Nothing.
Description
Method; specifies whether to use a compressed video stream for a local view of the camera.
This method is generally applicable only if you are transmitting video using the Flash Media
Server; setting
compressLocalStream
to
true
lets you see more precisely how the video will
appear to users when they view it in real time.
Although a compressed stream is useful for testing purposes, such as previewing video quality
settings, it has a significant processing cost, because the local view is not simply compressed; it
is compressed, edited for transmission as it would be over a live connection, and then
decompressed for local viewing.
To set the amount of compression used when you set
compressLocalStream
to
true
, use
Camera.setQuality()
.
Example
In the following example, if the user presses a loopback button, the loopback value is set to
true
:
on (press) {
if (_root.active_cam.loopback==false) {
_root.active_cam.setLoopback(true);
} else {
debu="You're already compressing the stream." + newline;
}
