This took a while for me to figure out, hope it helps someone. (I’m using Leopard on an iMac, with Flash CS 3). If you follow the Adobe instructions for connecting your Flash app to your built-in iSight camera, things will start great at first, and you should be prompted to connect to your camera when you run the code:

Click allow, and you’ll likely only see a blank screen. And that’s where I became stuck. After some searching, I found you have to actually change the type of camera inside Flash from the default setting, which is “DVCPRO HD”, to a USB based one. To do this, run your SWF, right-click on the movie, then click on “Settings…”

From the Settings menu, click on the small camera icon, and switch to a “USB Video Class Video” camera.

That should work for you. You should see your iSight light activate and see video in your Flash app. Let me know if you have troubles.
