Accessing flash memory without security concerns

Can I access computers' webcam using Flash without user permission?

The project that I plan to use in Flash will not work on the web and will work in a standard flash projector or in a swfStudio projector.

Not. Is not. This is similar to the question "Is it possible to save files to the user's hard drive using JavaScript." It's just possible, but then hack it. It won't work forever [if you ever find a way to do it] because it just isn't supported. And it's not supported for a reason: security. It's not like a lack of technology, so there is no reason why it will be available in the future.



PS: for JavaScript HTML5 has the ability to save files on the user's hard drive, but again, not without permission [I don't take cookies into account here]

Why aren't you using AIR? In AIR, you can access the camera and no message will be displayed.

If you have control over the machine you are deploying to, you can use the Flash Settings Manager to always allow access to the camera.
