Moving

I'm trying to get this to work and maybe someone else has gotten this to work, but here's the idea:

With a camera installed, a user will come up to the computer, click on the mouse and the program will capture a short clip of the user.  Then, that movie will be called to play in a loop.  When this is playing, it will play in an ellipse that will moving randomly throughout the screen.  As time goes on, this ellipse will continue to get smaller and smaller as time goes on.  Of course, there will be multiple video loops that will be doing this.

Does anyone know of an example code for this or have any suggestions?  Thanks.

you wont get an example that offers what you need.
but just start somewhere and do it step by step.

Thats the way most projects start.

First thing i would do is to write a class that creates a ball everytime somebody presses a key. An example that could help you as it deals with different number of balls that disappear is the arraylist example

http://processing.org/learning/topics/arraylistclass.html

this is a really good start.
if this is working the way you want it. try to record images and video from a webcam and then add this as texture... etc...

good luck!
