currentFps (Camera.currentFps property)

The rate at which the camera is capturing data, in frames per second. This property cannot be set; however, you can use the Camera.setMode() method to set a related property--Camera.fps--which specifies the maximum frame rate at which you would like the camera to capture data.

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 6

Example

The following example detects the rate in frames per second that the camera captures data, using the currentFps property and a ProgressBar instance. Create a new video instance by selecting New Video from the Library options menu. Add an instance to the Stage and give it the instance name my_video. Add a ProgressBar component instance to the Stage and give it the instance name fps_pb. Then add the following ActionScript to Frame 1 of the Timeline:

var my_video:Video;
var fps_pb:mx.controls.ProgressBar;
var my_cam:Camera = Camera.get();
my_video.attachVideo(my_cam);
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
    fps_pb.setProgress(my_cam.fps-my_cam.currentFps, my_cam.fps);
};

fps_pb.setStyle("fontSize", 10);
fps_pb.setStyle("themeColor", "haloOrange");
fps_pb.labelPlacement = "top";
fps_pb.mode = "manual";
fps_pb.label = "FPS: %2 (%3%% dropped)";
