I would definitely recommend *not* using anything in a browser app that requires Flash to run.  Have you considered an alternative method, such as having the user select a document, uploading that document to a web server module or back-end application, and then having the *back-end* code perform the image capture ?

It's not that it's dangerous, rather that it probably won't work in a lot of browsers because they have Flash disabled or blocked.  And the underlying non-Flash API is not widely supported in all browsers.

So which way I ought to allow the use of the webcam in the web platform ?

The basic answer is "you can't".
