Attaching a camera video feed to html in Adobe Air

Question

I am using the Adobe AIR SDK to develop an HTML/JavaScript app that needs to record video. I'm not using Flex or Flash Builder which can use <mx:VideoDisplay />

I know how to attach the camera video feed to a new window object via nativeWindow.stage. Is it possible to do something similar in a section of the html or an iframe? Or is there an html tag that AIR interprets like the <mx:VideoDisplay /> tag in ActionScript?

Answer 1

In the end the answer was not to attach the video feed to the HTML, but to load it in a Flash Player file. We ended up embedding JWPlayer into the app and having it play the video stream from the media server. However, something similar can be done to have a sort of video chat app. You can create a SWF file that implements the ExternalInterface class in ActionScript so you can expose necessary functions to JavaScript.
