hello,

So I did some research and figured out that one way to share my screen
trough flash is with a vfw driver. Before I think about buying one I
want to try develop one of my own.
The situation is that I have a web based application for e-learning
designed in Flash. I want to be able to send a clients desktop screen to
the application. No screenshots but stream. So, the source must be
available in the camera properties of flash. (right click flash movie,
properties, camera tab, dropdown menu).

I also saw that there is a possibility to do this with a mirror driver.
I installed the VNC mirror driver but it don't appear in the flash
properties.

Since I have no experience in writing a vfw driver I wonder if someone
could point me into some direction I should start looking or even give
me some advise about how to do it.

Regards

Tom

Hi Tom - you can download the VfW Developers Kit (VFWDK) from MS:

Good Luck,
