Topic: Help developing a "generic webcam" widget
I am not a flash programmer, but I am a Perl programmer and a Linux sysadmin.
It seems to me that we should be able to create a widget that does 2 things:
1. Accepts a URL to a jpg, then pulls an image from that URL
2. Forces the image size to 320x240.
This way anyone who has a URL of an image can use the "generic webcam widget" to display it.
I have found 3 or 4 webcam feeds out there I would like to use, but they are not the right size and I would not want to create multiple widgets for them. There are 1000s of potential web cams out there (including personal cams) so why not just create a single widget to handle them all?
So to get to my question, is there anyone out there who can help me develop this?
I have flash MX 6 (I know it is a bit old), but I have very little idea what I am doing with it.
I can struggle with it myself, but I have a feeling there is a very knowledgeable person out there that can create this in under an hour.
Please let me know if anyone out there can help.
