name (Camera.name property)

public name : String [read-only]

A string that specifies the name of the current camera, as returned by the camera hardware.

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 6

Example

The following example displays the name of the default camera in a text field. In Windows, this name is the same as the device name listed in the Scanners and Cameras Control Panel. 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. Then add the following ActionScript to Frame 1 of the Timeline:

var my_cam:Camera = Camera.get();
var my_video:Video;
my_video.attachVideo(my_cam);

this.createTextField("name_txt", this.getNextHighestDepth(), 0, 0, 100, 22);
name_txt.autoSize = true;
name_txt.text = my_cam.name;

The MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method used in this example requires Flash Player 7 or later. If your SWF file includes a version 2 component, use the version 2 components' DepthManager class instead of the MovieClip.getNextHighestDepth() method.
