Specific Flash features support on Android

Question

I have a service that uses computer webcam via Flash. Now I'd like to develop an Android optimized version of the service using HTML5 + Flash and then use some HTML5 wrapper to get an app.

I wonder if it's possible to use the same ability of Flash that provides an access to user's phone camera (frontal) on the Android (tablet pcs, smart phones). I know Android supports Flash since 2.2, but I failed to find any information on hardware access.

Air for Android is probably your best bet. Its all AS3, just like your Flash code, so it should be a pretty easy transition. Check out this link regarding the latest version of Air for Android:
