Using one camera in multiple applications

Multiple applications (SWFs) can use the same camera at the same time, provided that they are running in the same process. Generally, multiple browser windows are all in the same process, so in the browser environment this capability works well.

However, a camera cannot be shared between applications running in two different processes—for example, one in the browser and one in a stand-alone player.
