autorefresh for webcams

Postby edgley on Thu Mar 24, 2005 1:31 am

Title says it all.

I would like the images to refresh without having to press a button.

Thanks!

sorry for my english.

you can use refresh when you go on your webcam screen.

screen menu, the buttons "goto webcan" are an events goto webcan, you add an event refresh.

or do a events survol buttons , when the mouse are on the category or the pictures, his refresh.

I see, so make places on the screen do a refresh without the user knowing.

thanks!

Sure,

When a button has an event asigned to it, it can also have an enter event asigned and an exit one too.

So if you set these to refresh you can get the cams to refresh when the mouse passes over the button.

You can also use the event plug in to do it more professional.
This is what I use now. It is set to auto refresh the cams every minute automaticly.

fyi: you can also add an "Enter Event" to a screen.
So you can set it to refresh anytime you access that screen.

So IF I can figure out how to do the event refresh plug in, I should be able to refresh my web cam images automatically? Did you ever notice that IF is the biggest 2 letter word in the english dictionary :)

So I added a button to the webcam page. Assigned an enter button event and an exit button event. So if I hold the mouse on button it refreshes (hhtp refresh) and take it off it refreshes. Now how do I aoutomate this process?
