Can anyone point me in a general direction.

I'm wanting to capture single frames from a web camera to an array of PImages, say when I click.

I can do this with the copy or get functions etc. but this is no good for me for various reasons, I need to get the captured frame before it is seen on screen.

Is there a way to say to Processing 'Grab this frame now (from the Capture function) and put it in one index of an array so I can display these later as a sequential image()?... ie storing individual frames from a camera without showing them or printing them to the screen?

New to Processing (or any form of programming) and tearing my hair out with this.  

Any pointers greatly, no massively appreciated.
