for every 5 seconds part, can use timer class.

or can listen enterframe events , use counter depending on fps.

 

 

for picutre capturing part, simpliest way probably

 

bitmapdata.draw(yourcameraobject);

not sure if want save bitmaps or not. don't know methods myself if need more info suggest specify details other people can easier. things save location (cameraroll, app directory, cloud, etc),  , if want convert pics format, etc.

 

good luck
