So far the solution I found requires a crossdomain.xml to work,but this is not available on an IP camera:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml" layout="absolute" applicationComplete="init()">
<mx:Script>
<![CDATA[
import utils.video.mjpeg.MJPEG;
public function init():void{
Security.loadPolicyFile("xmlsocket:http://10.8.0.54/crossdomain.xml");
trace("xmlsocket:http://10.8.0.54/crossdomain.xml")
var vid:MJPEG = new MJPEG("10.8.0.54", "", 8081);
video.rawChildren.addChild(vid);
}
