Detect possible webcam resolutions

Question

Happy New Year to everybody!
So, I searched forums and googled and not found anything on how to detect the Webcam supported resolutions in flash.
The whole issue stems from the issue when I use Camera.getCamera() (only have one attached to my laptop) I'm always getting
different values for camera.height and camera.width. Also some 720p cams have different aspect ratio then the old cameras.
Is there possible to detect somehow what's the largets resolution is supported by a webcam? Or all possible resolutions supported?

hi
I´m trying to know if the webcam is 4/3 or 16/9. You know that your solution could work?
cam.setMode(64000,48000,fps);
switch (ScaleCam(cam)) {
                case 1.33: // 4/3
                    mx.controls.Alert.show("4/3"+"\n"+cam.width+"\n"+cam.height);
                    break;
                case 1.77: // 16/9
                    mx.controls.Alert.show("16/9"+"\n"+cam.width+"\n"+cam.height);
                    break;
                case 3: //
                    break;
protected function ScaleCam(cam:Camera):Number {
    var scale:Number = new Number();
    scale = cam.width/cam.height;
    scale = Number(scale.toFixed(2));
    return scale;
I haven´t got webcam HD 16/9, so can´t try this solution.
Thanks!
