motionLevel (Camera.motionLevel property)

public motionLevel : Number [read-only]

A numeric value that specifies the amount of motion required to invoke Camera.onActivity(true). Acceptable values range from 0 to 100. The default value is 50.

Video can be displayed regardless of the value of the motionLevel property. For more information, see Camera.setMotionLevel().

Availability: ActionScript 1.0; Flash Player 6

Example

The following example continually detects the motion level of a camera feed. 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 motionLevel_nstep, and a ProgressBar with the instance name motion_pb. Then add the following ActionScript to Frame 1 of the Timeline:

var my_cam:Camera = Camera.get();
var my_video:Video;
my_video.attachVideo(my_cam);

// configure the ProgressBar component instance
var motion_pb:mx.controls.ProgressBar;
motion_pb.mode = "manual";
motion_pb.label = "Motion: %3%%";

var motionLevel_lbl:mx.controls.Label;
// configure the NumericStepper component instance
var motionLevel_nstep:mx.controls.NumericStepper;
motionLevel_nstep.minimum = 0;
motionLevel_nstep.maximum = 100;
motionLevel_nstep.stepSize = 5;
motionLevel_nstep.value = my_cam.motionLevel;

// Continuously update the progress of the ProgressBar component instance to the activityLevel 
// of the current Camera instance, which is defined in my_cam 
this.onEnterFrame = function() {
    motion_pb.setProgress(my_cam.activityLevel, 100);
};

// When the level of activity goes above or below the number defined in Camera.motionLevel, 
// trigger the onActivity event handler. 
my_cam.onActivity = function(isActive:Boolean) {
    // If isActive equals true, set the themeColor variable to "haloGreen". 
    // Otherwise set the themeColor to "haloOrange". 
    var themeColor:String = (isActive) ? "haloGreen" : "haloOrange";
    motion_pb.setStyle("themeColor", themeColor);
};

function changeMotionLevel() {
    // Set the motionLevel property for my_cam Camera instance to the value of the NumericStepper 
    // component instance. Maintain the current motionTimeOut value of the my_cam Camera instance. 
    my_cam.setMotionLevel(motionLevel_nstep.value, my_cam.motionTimeOut);
}
motionLevel_nstep.addEventListener("change", changeMotionLevel);
