@sofia — did you try setting up a project with nothing in it but Camera and Video? to eliminate FLARManager from the equation?

Hi all!
About the USB cameras detection. I´ve been trying the possible solutions posted here but any of them worked for me.
Is there any other way to solve it?
Thanks!

@ericsoco – Thank’s for your fast answer. I must admit i’m still a beginner with this and I don’t understand what you mean with cut out the area of the video that contains the marker. With position it at a different depth than the 3D model, you mean using the model.z?

I’m very sorry but can you maybe use the sunglasses as example when you explain with some source code?

Sorry for the trouble. I understand how frustrating it can be when a noob walks in.

Thank you very much.

@wietse — you’d have to cut out the area of the video that contains the marker, and position it at a different depth than the 3D model. FLARManager gives you access to the corners of the detected marker (the black outline) via FLARMarker.corners.

Hi, first of all thank you for all your work. It looks more than amazing and it is blowing my mind away!

I just had one question, I want to change the code so that an animation will be placed behind or within the marker. Let me give an example;

Let’s say you have a 3d design of some sunglasses, the sunglasses are placed horizontal so that the glasses are looking at you when you hold up the marker. I want to make that the legs of the sunglasses are behind the marker and the glasses itself are in front of the marker.

I tried to work with model.z = -100; and I think this is the good way because the design actually get’s smaller but it still display’s in front of the marker. Is there a way to solve this problem?

Thank you in advance.

That´s the point!
The iSight is a USB camera and having more than one USB camera is a big problem because there’s no way to choose which camera we want to use.
Is there anyone using Playstation 3Eye on a MacBook and flash player 10?
Thanks again everyone

I agree with ericsoco, Try this site as3 code for devices http://bit.ly/cGc3uZ, Im not using Flex (but should be) and test to see if both devices show up. Hope this some what helps
