Insert client side video to an app

Question

I have to builld an application which has two videos. One video comes from the server side with the support of flash media server.  and second video comes from client side  from a web cam. I was able to include server video to the app but I have no idea how to  include client video to the app, because the client does not have a flash media server or flash media encoder running. Can any one please help me

So here's what you can do :
1. From the client publish the web cam stream to your FMS server like so :
var nc:NetConnection;
var ns:NetStream;
var camera:Camera;
var microphone:Microphone;
nc = new NetConnection();
nc.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, onStatus);
nc.connect("rtmp://<server-ip>/<app>/<app-inst>");                       //connect to an FMS side application
functiononStatuss(event:NetStatusEvent):void{
     if(info.code=="NetConnection.Connect.Success"){         
          ns = new NetStream(nc);
          ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);   //you can define an event listener for the netstream and handle events like Netstream.Publish etc
          camera = Camera.getCamera();    //Get the client side webcam and microphone
          microphone= Microphone.getMicrophone();
          ns.attachCamera(camera);                         //Attach it to the netstream
          ns.attachAudio(microphone);
          ns.publish("myWebcam","record");              //Publish that stream to FMS application. The streamname is myWebcam
2. To playback this Wnb cam stream on any client you just need to connect to the same application instance and do a ns.play();
