Simple Time-lapse Webcam
It's been a busy week. After having a baby and moving to a new home, I'm finally finding time to post a little experiment with the webcam in Flash.
I'm sure you've seen time-lapse videos, where the camera takes a picture at a very slow rate over a long period of time. The result is a video that looks like it's on super fast-forward.
I decided it would be fun to use Flash along with my built-in webcam to create a simple time-lapse application. The rate is set to take a snapshot once every ten seconds, but can be easily edited in the document class, TimeLapseExample.
See an example I recorded
Check it out (camera required).

Cool, so how do you save the video at the end?
Since I had no way to dynamically write out a video, it's just a series of BitmapData images played sequentially in a timer. The clip I recorded was with Camtasia, a screen capture tool.
If anyone has a better way to dynamically write video, let me know!
the time lapse worked from your check it out link can i save it somehow from there or can you tell me how to create one to save
See previous post.
