Look for tutorials about the Camera class. Here's a pretty good one from the looks of it:

If you're streaming you're probably streaming to Flash Media Server or Red5, Wowza, etc. You'd do well to visit fmsguru.com and flashcomguru.com to read the tutorials there. Flash Player 10 also now supports direct client to client streaming and Adobe's also got the new Flash Collaboration Service which provides some of the functionality of FMS. There's an Adobe blog post here:
