Camera getting disconnected while recording

[Guest]

For a certain demonstration of a video recording application at my workplace, we were using a panaromic camera, which required an external power source to remain turned on.

The video was recording fine, but suddenly, owing to a power fault, the camera turned off.

Now, my AS3 code wasn't prepared to handle a camera getting disconnected during recording - so I would like to know what happens when such a thing does happen. Does the Camera object become null? Does it trigger a particular event that I need to add an eventlistener for, on the Camera object?

I checkedthe documentation, and such a scenario hasn't been dealt with there.

Can anyone help?

you should be able to catch camera-discomnnetion wth sth like:

var cam:Camera = Camera.getCamera();

stage.addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME, checkCam);

function checkCam(e:Event):void{

if (cam== null)

{

//do something

}

}
