   Cool stuff gig, some nice things there. I intend to play around with webcam stuff more, now that I finally have a working webcam again!

   thanks mate,this was a very useful resource. I’ve been putting together a motion tracking class in AS3, which will track the motion of an object using a webcam. An early demo is up here: http://blog.soulwire.co.uk/flash/actionscript-3/webcam-motion-detection-tracking/

   Thanks again for the example.

   Ooh, very nice. Yeah, just the kind of thing I want to get into. I was thinking to use colour bounds to track blobs, though I guess I might need some subdivision to refine motion areas in more accurate blob tracking.

   Hi Liam,

   I appreciated you work here but you should back off on Justin. He has provided source code (http://blog.soulwire.co.uk/download/as3-motion-tracking)

   thanks,
   Ralph

    Um… I said nothing rsklarew. I think Nikon was complaining to Justin. Seems Justin and I went about the same way with the motion tracking, but Justin’s is more refined.

    I’ve been doing other things, but will get back into this if/when I get time.
