Hello everyone, I'm having a problem with the Camera.getCamera function.
When I use it, I call Camera.getCamera it returns the first camera in my system which is a tv card. So i pass it in the name of my camera 'HP Webcam' and returns null. If I create cameras by looping through the camera.names array, each camera is null. I am slightly confused on this as I have built a component to pick a camera and dispatch an event when one has been chosen, then I pick the camera out of that via a public var. but i don't want to have to do this for each time i use the camera, i am hoping to save this to a database, (this part is working). Any help on this will be brill.
