Don, I've been playing around with the new videoview and camera in Open Laszlo. It is very easy to use, but how does the mediastream record function work? Are there any examples of that? In particular, I'm interested in taking a single snapshot (jpg?) Thanks for all the work you've put into this extension, it has so much potential. Cheers, Peter

Foraatting this is proving difficult and the more information link didn't help me. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. I'm interested in having some easy way to try out some "humane" interface ideas, including making rollover a central feature. That would auto soom into the object to its "natural" size. That is when you can read any text there. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. Gestures like loop left and loop right and perhaps rubout would be useful. Loop right is clockwise and I hope to make it the select for the smallest object which contains the cursor and the loop. Rubout would be a delete. Perhaps loop left, ie wittershins, should be the deselect. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. Then select can pop up a somewhat transparent pie menu and entering the wedge highlights that choice and loop right invokes that command while crossing to another wedge mighlights it instead. Loop left would deselect the object and dismiss the pie menu. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. I believe these are all quite straightforward in OpenLaszlo and you are the pie menu guru already working in the arena already. What a wonderful state of affairs. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. Will there be difficulty for a user to create and modify a new object which can accept text and image and video content from arbitrary sources and autosoom on rollover? .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. I believe that would permit a largely geographic navigation style which people are known to find easy to learn and remember. Novices have been competent and vomfortable in less that one minute of training. Computer experts in two minutes. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. Pie menu choices from a set of destination windows or screens or rooms or pages seems very natural for going home or to a search screen. One might show the recent path taken through pages so backing uo several screens is quick and easy. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. A book could be presented in a 2D layout where the eight adjacent pages are accessible via doorways in each wall and corner. The animation is apparently easy to manufacture in OpenLaszlo. The door in the east wall leads to the next page. The pages could be full screen or less, I don't like more. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. Did any of that make sense? Is OpenLaszlo an environment which makes such a system easy to build and deliver, even to existing browsers? Are there handy examples of things that use the needed facilities? .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. .. ..

Everything works in Mozilla 1.07. I can see the interface and thumbnails in IE 6.0, but main playback doesn't work. Would love to see an upload example!
