Simple demonstration of binding to a camera using flash.media.Camera
Problem
If you want to work with a live camera and use the feed, you can use this simple recipe to see the simplistic workings. This project is a great opener for demonstrating Flex, too. You can build this from scratch in about 2-3 minutes.
Solution
Note that this is tooled to work with Flex Builder 3, beta 3. When working with the Camera class, you can pass a named camera to the getCamera method. If you only have one camera, the application will use it by default. If you get nothing, you can right-click (Ctrl-click on Mac) the <mx:VideoDisplay> in the application and chose your device.
