Webcam Bitmapdata problem

[bugsbycarlin]

Hi all,

I'm trying to make a webcam app, using a microsoft Lifecam VX-1000 and Flash Pro 8. It has 320x240 resolution. I capture the camera

image using

var image:BitmapData = new BitmapData(_root.view.width, _root.view.height);
image.draw(_root.view);

where view is my camera object.

The problem is, in the capture, my image is squished into the top left fourth of the screen, and the rest of the capture is white

space. I'm doing image processing, so I need the full resolution.

An image that explains what I'm talking about:

Thanks for taking the time!

One thing you may want to try is instead of using the Camera object direct when you do BitmapData.draw, first capture the webcam stream to Video object - [tt]videoObject.attachVideo(Camera.get());[/tt] - then draw the videoObject - [tt]image.draw(videoObject);[/tt] Just an idea.
