but those are normally made in Flash CS3 and up.

If it's in Actionscript 2, it should work with Flash 8 as that's what it also uses AS2.
true
but i can't open the FLAs cuz the ones ive found were made in CS3 and up
please help

This is a forum thread on the old Brackenwood forums that should have code for an AS2 vcam.
NOTE: The Actionscript 2 code at the top of the thread is mislabled, the code provided by the user "Jaehl" down in the thread is proper AS2 and is what I have used in my own work.
It's just the code for the v-cam so you're gonna have to set it up yourself in your own FLA. Look at these instructions by Alan Becker on how to do that; he's using Flash CS 6 but they're also applicable to Macromedia Flash 8.
I need to ask, is a VCam really worth the trouble getting the actionscript properly setup?

I'd say so. Once you're familiar with the process it becomes a thirty second setup from scratch. It's just a copy-and-paste job, with the most important thing being to remember where to paste the actionscript code (which I sometimes misplace).

After experimenting, I would say it's twice the work without the VCam. And the one I found on YouTube didn't support rotation, but yours did. So bookmarking and saving for later the VCam code from the thread.

a few years ago i found a vcam that works in flash 8 and i downloaded it
i still have it but ive edited it to work on a 640 x 360 canvas, if you want the download link here it is:
https://www.mediafire.com/file/3m5pahkrw0qm8tv/camera.fla/file
otherwise if you want a different canvas size for the vcam, you can carefully edit the vcam's size and make it fit (i said carefully since when you zoom in you would probably see the edges or walls of the vcam not fully fitting into the canvas)
