Problem
Is it possible capture images and video with quality in a web application or just in Air?
Solution
If your talking about creating an image based on video, then yes you can.
Detailed explanation
Using AS3CoreLib you can use a movieclip or a video object (for example) and create an image (jpg or png) based on them.
It turns out that AS3CoreLib has been moved to gitHub (http://github.com/mikechambers/as3corelib)
In your project add the ActionScript so you have access to everything.
Import the JPG Encoder:
import com.adobe.images.JPGEncoder; Use the BitmapData class to create an image based on your movieClip or video Sprite. var myJPG:BitmapData = new BitmapData(myVideo.width,myVideo.height); myJPG.draw(myVideo); Now we create the JPG from the bitmap data You can also add how much compression you want to add to the image: var jpgEncode:JPGEncoder = new JPGEncoder(85);var jpgStream:ByteArray =jpgEncode.encode(myJPG); Extra bonus to save the image on the users desktop (no call to the server needed) var fileRef:FileReference = new FileReference(); fileRef.save(jpgStream,"myFile.jpg"); This should ask you were you want to save your files. File names are totaly up to you baed on what your doing.
