Question : Problem: Capture a Still Image from a Webcam and upload it to the server.

Using Coldfusion Flash Form, or Flash, can I have the user activate his/her webcam, take a snapshot and upload that image to the server? I would really prefer to use coldfusion to do this.

Any suggestions are appreciated.

Thanks.

CF processes server side code, so it can't help you without some client side code... which you could do with flash

then you need to be able to save the bitmap

then upload using cf's

cffile action = "upload"

(but cffile needs to aloowed..some hosting environs disable it.)
