This allows the module to be imported on the server, since it can be exported without requiring the `window`. The init() call that used to happen before exporting the module now happens automatically when attaching a webcam viewer for the first time.

Thanks man! I'll look this over as soon as I have some time. |

Traditionally, node is headless. What is the goal here? Electron support? Or more general support for modules? |

The primary change here is to not initialize with an explicit
windowdependency.This allows the module to be imported on the server, since it can be exported without requiring the
window. Theinit()call that used to happen before exporting the module now happens automatically when attaching a webcam viewer for the first time.This solution is not as heavy-handed as #66, in that this does not allow for separate
Webcaminstances (e.g., does not allow for multiple independentWebcampreviews to have separateflashNotifycallbacks), but does improve modularization. Ultimately, that approach is probably preferred, but these changes will allow for at least this simple implementation to work in anodeenvironment.
