Hi

I just read the post about LPS not being able to support video conferencing at the moment and I was wondering if anyone has been able to simulate this functionality?

I have tried progressively updating a picture and using a webcam software to refresh the picture on the server. However the fastest i can refresh a picture is 1 second. I was wondering if anyone knows of any software available that is able to take a snapshot faster than 1 second?

Hello, i was kind of able to simulate video conferencing by having a software update a set of 10 images every second and I cycle through these images in a continuous loop using LzTimer object in a view. The problem is that the older images are cached and the motion captured is repeated a few times before the new images are displayed.

I also tried using a flash animation to cycle through the images as well. It works well when i tested it using the flash player supplied by macromedia however when i import the .swf file into a laszlo application it also caches the images.

is there a way to stop the images from being cached?
