Adding cue points to NetStream

Question

Hello I have been working on a project and have loaded videos using netstream.  I have several cue points that advance the timeline to a certain keyframe.  Would anyone have the script for NetStream that would do this, for example, when the video reaches cue1 it would advance the timeline to frame 10?
Thank you so much for your help.

Since no one has yet posted on this, I'll re-post part of a response to another post which deals specifically with using cue points with a NetStream video player:
OK, here is a working NetStream cue point:
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
video_screen.attachVideo(ns);
/* Name of your video, with correct path, goes here */
ns.play("my_video.flv");
ns.onCuePoint = function(evt:Object){
    trace(evt.name);
    trace(evt.time);
    if(evt.name == "jump_100") {
        trace("YO !Jump to 100!");
        gotoAndStop(100);
Reading this code:
set a new variable "ns" which is a new NetStream
attach a video to "video_screen"... the instance name of the video on the stage
now use that variable "ns" to play a video with file name "my_video.flv"
use ns to listen for an "event" type cue point Object
when the cue point is detected trace the event name and time
if the event name is exactly equal to "jump_100"
then trace "YO !Jump to 100!"
and then gotoAndStop at frame 100
For this exact code to work, your NetStream variable must be named "ns"
In the video you play, there must be a cue point of the "Event" type with the name "jump_100"
There must be at least 100 frames in the timeline.
Take it in small steps;
First make sure you can play the video using NetStream ... that's all.
Next, add the trace to detect the cue point... if you can't detect it, of course it won't do anything.
Only after you can successfully play the video and detect the cue point, should you attempt the cue point action (jump to frame 100).
You can also add more "if" statements if there are multiple cue points.
If cue point 1, then do this.
If cue point 2, then do this.... etc.
