Camera.motionTimeOut 185
Camera.motionTimeOut
Availability
Flash Player 6.
Usage
active_cam.motionTimeOut:Number
Description
Read-only property; the number of milliseconds between the time the camera stops detecting
motion and the time
Camera.onActivity(false) is invoked. The default value is 2000
(2 seconds).
To set this value, use
Camera.setMotionLevel().
Example
In the following example, the ProgressBar instance changes its halo theme color when the activity
level falls below the motion level. You can set the number of seconds for the
motionTimeout
property using a NumericStepper instance. Create a new video instance by selecting New Video
from the Library options menu. Add an instance to the Stage and give it the instance name
my_video. Add a Label component instance to the Stage and give it the instance name
motionLevel_lbl, a NumericStepper with the instance name motionTimeOut_nstep, and a
ProgressBar with the instance name
motion_pb. Then add the following ActionScript to Frame 1
of the Timeline:
var motionLevel_lbl:mx.controls.Label;
var motion_pb:mx.controls.ProgressBar;
var motionTimeOut_nstep:mx.controls.NumericStepper;
var my_cam:Camera = Camera.get();
var my_video:Video;
my_video.attachVideo(my_cam);
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
motionLevel_lbl.text = "activityLevel: "+my_cam.activityLevel;
};
motion_pb.indeterminate = true;
my_cam.onActivity = function(isActive:Boolean) {
if (isActive) {
motion_pb.setStyle("themeColor", "haloGreen");
motion_pb.label = "Motion is above "+my_cam.motionLevel;
} else {
motion_pb.setStyle("themeColor", "haloOrange");
motion_pb.label = "Motion is below "+my_cam.motionLevel;
}
};
function changeMotionTimeOut() {
my_cam.setMotionLevel(my_cam.motionLevel, motionTimeOut_nstep.value*1000);
}
motionTimeOut_nstep.addEventListener("change", changeMotionTimeOut);
motionTimeOut_nstep.value = my_cam.motionTimeOut/1000;
