Finding a camera under a null and activate it

Hi Community,

i have a noobish python question, but maybe someone can help me out:

i have a certain null object and somewhere under that null is a camera.
I now need some code which iterates through the hierarchy of that null (starting from that null), testing if there's a camera nested and then activate it as scene camera.

I know how to activate the Camera with SetSceneCamera() but i'm stuck in this iteration process.

Thanks in advance! 
Greetings, Martin

@Bonsak: you links is broken. You find the content of the former C4DProgramming blog now also on developers.maxon.net.

There are ways for both recursive and non-recursive hierarchy iterations:

• Recursive hierarchy iteration
• Non-recursive hierarchy iteration

best wishes,
Sebastian
