Thank to both Andy and Jerermy I've gone through your replies and the closest i've got so far is:-
var arr:Array = Camera.names; trace(arr[0]); trace(arr[1]); \\the output screen at this point returned the camera names which i \\ added to the following lines. localCamera1 =Camera.get( arr["Digital Camera"]); localCamera2 =Camera.get( arr["Dual-Mode DSC (Video Camera)"] ); localVideo.attachVideo(localCamera1); localVideo2.attachVideo(localCamera2); This attaches the default camera to both videos again but now i have the camera names returned as well, the other thing that is confusing me is that you have both said to use Camera.getCamera(); instead of Camera.get(); but it fails with the following error:- **Error** Symbol=videoFeed, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 4: There is no method with the name 'getCamera'. localCamera1 =Camera.getCamera( arr["Digital Camera"] ); **Error** Symbol=videoFeed, layer=Layer 1, frame=1:Line 5: There is no method with the name 'getCamera'. localCamera2 =Camera.getCamera( arr["Dual-Mode DSC (Video Camera)"] ); Total ActionScript Errors: 2 Reported Errors: 2 And the cameras fails to load. Finally you mentioned version 9.0.16 admittedly i've only just upgraded to version 9 where can i get the updates? willbur --- In flexcoders@yahoogroups.com, "Andrew Trice" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > Take a look at some of the later posts on this thread.
