We closed this forum 18 June 2010. It has served us well since 2005 as the ALPHA forum did before it from 2002 to 2005. New discussions are ongoing at the new URL http://forum.processing.org. You'll need to sign up and get a new user account. We're sorry about that inconvenience, but we think it's better in the long run. The content on this forum will remain online.

Make a new Capture object for each. For more information, please see the example: http://processing.org/learning/examples/capture.html

If the sketch is going to be shown as an applet, it'd need to be signed, otherwise the Java SandBox won't let it download the images.
