    Can't view my webcam in flash player

    Hello,
    I always get "no camera found" in camera tab in flash player settings . What can be the problem. My camera is working fine. I have flash player also installed and working absolutely fine.

    I tried viewing my camera with "cheese" and i can perfectly see it. But i am unable to see it with Flash player. I visited ustream.tv to see if i can broadcast my video but it always shows "no camera found" in camera tab. How do i resolve this? I even tried solution posted in this thread http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1148480 :-

    LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so firefox &

    But still it doesn't work. I also tried gkstreamer-properties and my webcam works just fine in video for linux 2.

    Please, help me. I have been trying to solve this since 3 hours. Waiting for your replies

    UPDATE :- i am now able to view my webcam using the command given above. But how do i the same for chrome?
    LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib/libv4l/v4l1compat.so chrome & doesn't work
