THIS IS VERY OLD CODE AND NO LONGER MAINTAINED. USE AT YOUR OWN RISK.

This is a simple view component for the Starling AS3 Framework that allows you to integrate a Camera with the rest of Starling's display list. Look at the Main and MainView classes for a simple tutorial.

StarlingCamera supports:

• Arbitrary size of camera
• Mirroring of the camera view
• Arbitrary framerate of the display for optimized performance
• Downsampling of the camera display for optimized performance
• A rotate flag to handle a bug on mobile AIR
• Full-resolution snapshot call (getImage())

Known issues:

• On IOS, the front-facing camera is higher resolution than the rear camera. This makes the image seem unnaturally zoomed. I'll post a fix when I can.
• A bug on Air for IOS causes the camera to rotate 90 degrees. This is handled in StarlingCamera by allowing the developer to pass in a rotate flag as part of the init() method.
