Availability

Flash Player 6.
Flash Media Server (not required).

Usage

public currentFps : Number  [read-only]

Description

Property (read-only); the rate at which the camera is capturing data, in frames per second. This property cannot be set; however, you can use Camera.setMode() to set a related property--Camera.fps--which specifies the maximum frame rate at which you would like the camera to capture data.

Example

The following example detects the rate in frames per second that the camera captures data, using the currentFps property and a ProgressBar instance. Create a new video instance by selecting New Video from the Library options menu. Add an instance to the Stage and give it the instance name my_video. Add a ProgressBar component instance to the Stage and give it the instance name fps_pb. Then add the following ActionScript to Frame 1 of the Timeline:

var my_video:Video;
var fps_pb:mx.controls.ProgressBar;
var my_cam:Camera = Camera.get();
my_video.attachVideo(my_cam);
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
    fps_pb.setProgress(my_cam.fps-my_cam.currentFps, my_cam.fps);
};

fps_pb.setStyle("fontSize", 10);
fps_pb.setStyle("themeColor", "haloOrange");
fps_pb.labelPlacement = "top";
fps_pb.mode = "manual";
fps_pb.label = "FPS: %2 (%3%% dropped)";
