 Flash 8: Webcam FirePosted on November 4, 2005 by Grant SkinnerI’ve been building out some new demos for upcoming conference sessions and workshops, and really like this one, which generates fire onscreen based on webcam motion. It basically turns you into the Human Torch. I think it’s a nice counterpoint to my Webcam Snowstorm experiment – fire and ice. Another thing I find really cool about this is that it’s only a 1kb swf. Good work Flash engineering team! Check it out, Flash 8 Player and a webcam is required:
Shameless plug: If you’d like to learn how to build this (and not just dissemble the code, but really understand the underlying logic), check out my Flash 8 Bootcamps coming up in Toronto (Nov 11-12) and Los Angeles (Dec 2-3). Here’s a couple of screenshots for readers without a webcam, though they don’t really do it justice:

Flipping the image (like a mirror, MSN video chat style) would make it a lot easier to act coordinated infront of the camera!

Asolutely amazing!

Awesome work grant!
Just wondering, do you plan on releasing a dvd of any of these workshops? I'm in sydney, I'd love for you to come down under and do a bootcamp here for us, but otherwise a dvd I could buy would be the next best thing ;)

Thank you to give us hope!
Terrific!

Cool! Check this link, this will help ye! If you'd use the movement detection as a alpha key for a fire animation, and animate the aplha key to move up a bit, you get something like this fire effect.

There is one kind question.
Will see the flash CS3 technical document and will be able to establish only the webcam in one. In same type establishes the webcam in 2 and the screen where the respectively camera is different receives and is the stereo webcam production impossible?
Uses the flash and tries to produce the holography which is simple wants.
