At the moment i have a video feed (my iMacs built in camera) and set up a minimum and maximum colour parameter on the processed video. My intention is to use a specific colour to trigger a button in MAX. I've tried attaching an r processedVideo to the button and it is definitely triggering it, but it just seems to be being triggered by the video it self. Any ideas on how to get it only to react to a specific colour?

Thanks again to the wicked MAX community.
