Why does Camera.getCamera(camName); always returns null

[Former Community Member]

Why would the camera instance be null, if the Camera class knows the name of the Camera !!

for each (var camName:String in Camera.names) {

                    var camera:Camera = Camera.getCamera(camName);

                    trace("Camera = " + camera);

                    if(camName.indexOf("Front") != -1){

                            cameraIndex = camera.index; //: Causes a null exception to be thrown.

                    }

}

You need to use camera index in string type instead of camera name.

var camera:Camera = Camera.getCamera("0"); //or "1" for front camera
