No - This is to view other webcam images - i.e. it basically refreshes images downloaded from the web

Same problem here. As soon as I try to import it tells me: "Package loading failed. Image file:
'http://www.webviews.co.uk/liveimages/trafalgarsq.jpg' not found.

Great idea, looks cool on the desktop but I can't get it too update the view without deleting and reimporting the object. Also was unable to change the view from anything but the default of London

Hmm... i get the same error here. Strange... Apparently it can't find the image with the name trafalgarsq.jpg at the specified address.

OK, I tweaked the object to look at addressing update issues. If there are problems loading the image then a) make sure you are online 
try another source - there are plenty at www.camcentral.com

Object.Picture, is that new?
Why not link in a static picture to download from, then let the user an url?

Object.Picture has been there for a while. Keep an eye on the docs and whatsnew.txt 
Why bloat the object with a static picture - the object will download the correct one when loaded.
onestar - this is designed to get images from a file so unless your webcam is saving the image locally or online then no.

Works beautifully! -Perfect for DOT traffic cam view. Would it be difficult to handle multiple URL's and have variable times (seconds) between rotation of URL images?
Example: Have it go down a list of URL's and load each image every x seconds, but only pull image from server in the manner that you already have it do (every 30 seconds, 60 seconds etc.) That would truley ROCK!
My hat's off to you as this is about perfect for checking the morning commute but would LOVE to alternate between maybe 6-10 webcams sequentially along the route.
Thanks!

Martin:
I like your webcam object, but the "v" and "X" buttons do not work unless I turn the object into a widget. What would be great is if the "v" button toggled the display on and off freeing up space on the desktop. I suppose that the best way to do this would be write a script that would change the opacity of the webcam object between 0 and 100. So the default would be 100% opacity and the first click would change it to 0 and the next back to 100%. Would you mind if I changed your object?
Thanks,
Mark
