jQuery Webcam Plugin
====================

Description
-----------
A small wrapper library to be able to communicate with a Flash webcam via JavaScript.

Example
------

Please note: The camera doesn't work if you have any dom-errors on your page!

The Flash object will be embedded into the following Div:

```html
<div id="webcam"></div>
```

```javascript

jQuery("#webcam").webcam({

width: 320,
	height: 240,
	mode: "callback",
	swffile: "/jscam_canvas_only.swf", // canvas only doesn't implement a jpeg encoder, so the file is much smaller

onTick: function(remain) {

if (0 == remain) {
			jQuery("#status").text("Cheese!");
		} else {
			jQuery("#status").text(remain + " seconds remaining...");
		}
	},

onSave: function(data) {

var col = data.split(";");
    // Work with the picture. Picture-data is encoded as an array of arrays... Not really nice, though =/
	},

onCapture: function () {
		webcam.save();

// Show a flash for example
	},

debug: function (type, string) {
		// Write debug information to console.log() or a div, ...
	},

onLoad: function () {
    // Page load
		var cams = webcam.getCameraList();
		for(var i in cams) {
			jQuery("#cams").append("<li>" + cams[i] + "</li>");
		}
	}
});

```

If you want to draw the picture onto a canvas, have a look at the source of the page on my blog, linked below.
