Trial Software

Well todays attempts are centering around a downloaded security video surveilance program, as it uses "hotspots" to sense motion by way of either a video camera or webcam. If motion is detected then a choice of outputs will be triggered. My thoughts are that if the images (chosing still shots as the video is to big a file load) are stored in a file then that file if it can be accessed then it can be used in a simple "yes there is more than one photo stored", or even a counter that if triggered will afford the opportunity to go into a function.

Am thinking that once that is managed then, by using 2 hotspots, if it is possible to differenciate between which one was triggered, (e.g. one sends an image and the other sends a sound) then it could run two different sequences of animation to the file.

The software program allows for other applications to work with it by changing the preferences. However gives no more information that that. As David is going to use Flash, I am moving to looking at Flash as I have not used it before.
