Detecting Animation

[steenpat]

Hi.

I'm having trouble with detecting when a certain graphic is changing. For instance if a red bar is increasing or decreasing or flashing a different color.

I thought I could do this using PixelCheckSum() but I am not getting good results. What I wanted to do was print a msgbox saying "this graphic is changing" while the graphic changes. And when the graphic is stationary say "this graphic is not changing." Can anyone give me an example of how they would do this?

Why not this?

$checksum = PixelChecksum(0,0, 50,50)

If $checksum <> PixelChecksum(0,0, 50, 50) Then
     MsgBox(0, "Checksum", "The Graphic has changed")
Else
     MsgBox(0, "Checksum", "The Graphic has not changed")
EndIf

You could probably also use PixelGetColor.
