I'm using this jQuery plugin: http://www.xarg.org/project/jquery-webcam-plugin/

When I run this code on localhost, I never see the flash permissions request to access the webcam. If I specifically set flash to allow webcam access to localhost, the plugin works.

What step am I missing to cause this plugin to request permissions?

I have never used the above mentioned plugin, but could it be that you are setting the width and height to a smaller value than 214x137? That is the size that is needed for the permissions dialog. When your Flash file is smaller than that, it just won't appear.

A solution to that is resizing the component after access has been granted or denied. Although I do not know whether or not that works with the jquery plugin.

  • I am setting the size to 200x200, so that may be it. I'll try increasing it and see what happens; thanks! – Ryre Aug 16 '11 at 16:37
  • At least that will improve it! – PaulT Aug 16 '11 at 20:16
  • Unfortunately, increasing the size didn't help(though I'm leaving it increased to show the full confirm dialog when it is working). – Ryre Aug 16 '11 at 20:54
  • This problem ended up being a corrupt swf file from using the plugin's make script. Solved it by switching to a different plugin. Marking this as the answer since I did want a window bigger than 200x200 for the reason listed. – Ryre Aug 18 '11 at 15:28

Maybe you don't have flash add-on enabled on your browser..^_^
