Hi all,

I want when I click the image field on my form to activate a webcam. Is is possible to do this in LiveCycle Designer?

Regards,

Ace

Hi Ace,

It is not possible in LC Designer ES2 or in forms opened in Acrobat/Reader v9 or below.

However with the recently launched Adobe Digital Enterprise Platform, The new version of Designer will be available as part of the Document Services. You can download a trial here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/enterprise-platform/trial-downloads.html#server.

The new version of ADEP Designer has a new Flash object. This can be used to display any existing Flash/Flex asset:

Not sure what your use case is and you would need to be mindful of the security requirements if you are communicating outside of Acrobat/Reader.

Please note for this example you will need Acrobat/Reader version X (10). And the user will also need a webcam

Hope that helps,

Niall,

In the documentation of the Flash object written "Flash Variables - A text string or stream that contains formatted name value pairs passed to the Flash player context when activated. Values are string or blank/empty string."

I'm looking at my ADEP Designer and not able to see this option, am I missing something?

Sorry Yan,

I am going to have to look into this. I know you can pass variables when you invoke the Flash object, but I don't think that the Help file is referring to this.

I'll come back when I dig up some more info!
