Hi all, i’ve just got myself a webcam and have been playing around with FMS, i want to do a bit more than just stream live video, it’s kinda an experiment really the guy i sit next to a work is the subject of my webcam monitor (he doesn’t know it yet) and i really want to do some trick stuff with motion detection. i saw this:

> I've been playing a lot with Flash 8's bitmap features in conjunction with webcams. This experiment simulates a snowfall with 400 snowflakes on screen, each with random size, rotation, speed and blur. That Flash can run it all fluidly is impressive...

which is really impressive, has anyone got source files of some as2 webcam tricks or links i could take a look at its all a bit new to me and i’d like to read more/play around a bit more.

Thanks
