Flash webcam

[ro6er]

I had an idea to make a swf that auto refreshed an image once ever so often from a dir which contains a constantly updated image from my webcam. I can get the swf to point to the dir but I don't know how to make it refresh it's self. And I don't want to use a meta refresh as I think it looks a bit naff.

something like this ought to work by getting around the cache problem

Movieclip.prototype.loadVarsNoCache=function(url){
if(url.indexOf("?&quot == -1){
this.loadVariables(url+"?time="+getTimer());
} else { this.loadVariables(url+"&time="+getTimer());
}
}


to use

myMcPath.loadVarsNoCache("

http://webcam.jpg");

probably best just to call this ar regular times using setinterval
