Re: net webcam img into director

[Mathew Ray]

Or you could pass it the current yr/date/hr/min/sec as a string, since 
you should be guaranteed that number won't come up twice :0) I think 
buddy or DirectOS or the like has a handy function for getting the 
seconds since the Unix epoch, useful as a timestamp as well.

ex w/buddy:
str_noCache = baSystemTime(%Y%0m%0d%0H%0M%0S)
theURL = theURL & "?nocache=" & str_noCache

You have to do a fake random number on the end of the request for director
to see it as a new image, ie
http://camURL/image?203030

So something like 

Tnum = random(9000)

TheUrl = theURL = "?" & tNum
