Client-Side ActionScript Language Reference

Returns

Nothing.

Description

Method; specifies whether to use a compressed video stream for a local view of the camera.
This method is generally applicable only if you are transmitting video using the Flash Media
Server; setting

compressLocalStream

true

lets you see more precisely how the video will

appear to users when they view it in real time.

Although a compressed stream is useful for testing purposes, such as previewing video quality
settings, it has a significant processing cost, because the local view is not simply compressed; it
is compressed, edited for transmission as it would be over a live connection, and then
decompressed for local viewing.

To set the amount of compression used when you set

compressLocalStream

true

, use

Camera.setQuality()

Example

In the following example, if the user presses a loopback button, the loopback value is set to

true

on (press) {

if (_root.active_cam.loopback==false) {

_root.active_cam.setLoopback(true);

} else {

debugWindow+="You're already compressing the stream." + newline;

}
