How to display video in/with Adobe Alchemy?

I want to display a video from a not supported USB camera in Air (or Flash). There is a SDK (of the camera) to display the video stream.

My question: How should the C/C++ routine build to compile it with Adobe Alchemy? I want only to display the video stream in Adobe Air (or Flash). No audio or something special is needed - only video.

I am working on Linux.

Some ideas?

Solution

  • If you cannot already use the camera from Flash, Alchemy is not going to help you.

    Alchemy can only do things that ActionScript can do-- it does not help you "get around" the Flash sandbox. The reason people use Alchemy is so that they can compile large legacy codebases and/or open-source libraries.
