Sorry, I didn’t make myself clear the first time - I’m using AS3 and XML structure as the following sample:

name
time
subtitle

As far as I understood this is about embedded cue points. Is there some example concerning loading external cue points from a XML file?

Thanks,
Nencho

I am trying (unsuccessfully) to utilse cue points in my flv (my_video) to jump to places in my timeline. My flv’s are placed within a movieclip if this is helpful? I’ve learnt alot from this website but i just don’t know enough about coding to get it to work. I’ve done a trace of my flv and this is the information it came back with;

onCuePoint:
parameters =
web1: website1
type = event
time = 3.009
name = web1
———
onCuePoint:
parameters =
web2: website2
type = event
time = 10.127
name = web2
———
onCuePoint:
parameters =
web3: website3
type = event
time = 17.866
name = web3

I’ve tried to ‘fudge’ my way through this but don’t understand enough about AS language?! I exported the flv with embedded cue points called web1, web2 & web3 and am trying to get these to jump to the main timeline (out of the mc) to their respective labels (web01, web02 & web03) Whilst I was embedding those cue points i also added event names (also web1, 2 & 3) and values of website1,website2 & website3 -no idea why just thought they had to be filled?

Just to reiterate i’m not using components and I am using the net stream class.

Help!

…please!

Here’s my code so far;

ns.onCuePoint = function(evt:Object):Void {
trace(evt.name);
trace(evt.time);
trace(evt.parameters);
}

var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.cuePoint = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
// Put any code you like here
trace(”web1: ” + eventObject.info.name);
trace(”event: ” + eventObject.info.type);
if(eventObject.info.name==”web1″){
gotoAndStop(”web01″);
}
}
my_video.addEventListener(”cuePoint”, listenerObject);

Lots of good follow up discussion with excellent feedback.

Thought I’d pose a problem that I cannot really find any info on, although I’ve seen this in action.

I’d like to, using a custom made seek/scrub bar, restrict the user’s ability to scrub through the video to only a number of cuepoints. I’d also like to display the name of the cuepoint in the seekbar as a pop out label.

Food for thought…

I found a sample of how to do the second part, have a cue point control the
timeline. Here is the link.

But I haven’t yet found a way (that works) to create a button that
sends the playhead of the FLVPlayer to a specific Cue point.

I have used your excellent tutorial to play captions using Cue points.

var listener:Object = new Object();
listener.cuePoint = function(evt:Object):Void {
if (evt.info.parameters.text == “\”\”") {
tfCaptions.text = “”;
} else {
tfCaptions.text = evt.info.parameters.text;
}
}
videoPlayer.addEventListener(”cuePoint”, listener);

I would like to use a button to tell the FLVPlayer component, to start
at a specific Cue point. I am using Action Script 2.

I would also like to know how to use the Cue points to control the main timeline in the Flash movie. For instance when the FLVPlayer component get’s to “Cue_point_1″ the main movie would go to the next frame or labeled frame.

Any help would be appreciated.
