You should put a music CD into your drive and look at it's actual contents. A lot, not all, have SWFs that run when inserted. As you may know, you have to have an autorun.ini file on the CD. The autorun file tells the computer to run the SWF. It doesn't matter how the SWF was created

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
