Right… perhaps create the VideoMotionCursor and then add a Timer with a delay of 300ms before you add the cursor to the stage and or set the events. If you need help there, let me know.

I am trying to create a motion sensing movie that picks random mc’s on motion detection. This works fine with the VideoMotion class ie:

mL.onMotionStart = function(obj) {
if (obj.cursor == mc3) {
light.gotoAndStop(Math.ceil(Math.random()*5+1));
}
}
myMotion.addEventListener(“onMotionStart”, mL);

mL.onMotionStop = function(obj) {
if (obj.cursor == mc3) {
light.gotoAndStop(1);
}
}
myMotion.addEventListener(“onMotionStop”, mL);

but trying the same with the Camera.get():

c = Camera.get();
function motion(mode)
{
pinkBox.gotoAndStop(Math.ceil(Math.random()*5)+1);
}
c.onActivity = function(mode){motion(mode);}
c.setMotionLevel(30, 3000);
myVideoObject.attachVideo(c);

if I could get something like this to work it would be great!

function motion(mode)
{
trace(x + “: ” + mode);
x++;
}
c.onActivity = function(mode) {motion(mode);};
if ((mode) = (true)){
pinkBox.gotoAndStop(Math.ceil(Math.random()*5)+1)
}

Cheers for having a look.

The Camera.get() call works fine on the Macs.

The problem is the VideoMotion Class, which is such an easier method for calling and using web cams in flash motion detection.

Does anyone know why this does not work?

Cheers

After some googling I found a solution to the getting your video motion classes to work with the MacBook webcam. Using the Camera.get() call doesn’t bring up the built in camera. You have to go into your Flash player settings and set it to “USB Video Class Video”.

One of the bloggers on this site suggests this workaround: using a check by listing the cameras from AS if you detect that you’re on a Macintosh and then attempt to choose “USB Video Class Video.”
