You should check out the VideoDisplay component for starters. If you want to do that with a Flex based web app, look into Networking and Communication because you'll have to save the image from the camera, upload it to a server, then download it. Flash 9 doesn't have access to the local file system. But I hear Flash 10 will (not sure if that's true or not though). -Nate
