Description

Using very simple code. Pictures coming from the camera roll could take up 3 x slow to come in that pictures take from the camera. Older versions of sdks did not have this issue.
Going from the loader.contentLoaderInfo to where the loaderComplete is hit is where the time difference is.

protected function imageTakePicture_mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
Label.text="Camera Start";
if(CameraUI.isSupported)

{ var camera:CameraUI = new CameraUI(); camera.addEventListener(MediaEvent.COMPLETE, mediaEventComplete); camera.launch(MediaType.IMAGE); }

}

protected function imageCameraRoll_mouseDownHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
{
Label.text="Camera Roll Start";

if (CameraRoll.supportsBrowseForImage)

{ var roll:CameraRoll = new CameraRoll(); roll.browseForImage(); roll.addEventListener(MediaEvent.SELECT,mediaEventComplete); }

}

private function mediaEventComplete(event:MediaEvent):void
{

var mediaPromise:MediaPromise = event.data;

{ var loader:Loader = new Loader(); loader.contentLoaderInfo.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, loaderCompleted); loader.loadFilePromise(mediaPromise); return; }

}

private function loaderCompleted(event:Event):void

{ Label.text="Loader Completed"; }
