I found that not only do you need to do ns.attachCamera(null), but also video.attachCamera(null) to get the Camera to completely shut off if the Camera is also attached to a Video object.

Good stuff.

I’ve another quirk which (so far) I haven’t found a solution for:

If the camera is physically unplugged, the image will freeze. However, there is no way to detect this and no way to reconnect when the camera is plugged in again

Tip #6:

You can detect if the dialog box is open by performing the following operation insider a timer event:

////

var closed:Boolean = true;
var dummy:BitmapData;
dummy = new BitmapData(1, 1);

try
{
// Try to capture the stage: triggers a Security error when the settings dialog box is open
dummy.draw(stage);
}
catch (error:Error)
{
closed = false;
}

dummy.dispose();
dummy = null;
