After Effects video cue point data error #1107

Question

Hi all,
I'm trying to create a personalised video using the techniques described here: http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/atv_personalized_video.html
I have created the video and tracking data in After Effects (CS5), converted the tracking data to Flash cue points and exported the .flv file. I can import the video into Flash (CS6) just fine and I can see all the cue point data however when I try to compile the Flash project, bearing in mind this is just an empty stage with an instance of FLVPlayback on it, I get the following errors:
VerifyError: Error #1107: The ABC data is corrupt, attempt to read out of bounds.
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable Icon is not defined.
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable FLVPlayback is not defined.
ReferenceError: Error #1065: Variable Main is not defined.
If I export the .flv without the cue point data I can import, compile and play the video without error.
I've had a look around and I've not really been able to find any information about this issue and don't have a clue where to start with it.
Any ideas?!

Here is the script I used to export the markers as valid XML for Flash to import. Please note that this will export all markers from all layers so if, as I did, you have multiple 'versions' of your tracking data on different layers it will export the whole lot.
var comp = app.project.activeItem;
var XMLStart = "<?xml version='1.0' encoding='UTF-8' ?><FLVCoreCuePoints>";
var XMLEnd = "</FLVCoreCuePoints>";
var XMLTemp = "";
var XMLFinal = "";
var layerCount = comp.numLayers;
var layer = new Object;
var layerMarkers = new Object;
var markerCount = 0;
var curMarkerTime = 0;
var curMarkerName = "";
var curMarkerType = "";
var curMarkerXML = "";
//Layer markers
for(i=1; i<layerCount+1; i++) {
    layer = comp.layer(i);
    layerMarkers = layer.marker;
    markerCount = layerMarkers.numKeys;
    for(j=1; j<markerCount+1; j++) {
        // get the parameters for this marker
        var params = layerMarkers.keyValue(j).getParameters();
        var XMLParam = "";
        var cont = false;
        // loop through parameters
        for(param in params) {
            // I added this conditional to strip out markers in my project which were superfluous
            if(params[param] == "410,230.5") {
                var cont = true;
                continue;
            // generate the XML for the parameter
            XMLParam += "<Parameter>";
              XMLParam += "<Name>" + param + "</Name>";
              XMLParam += "<Value>" + params[param] + "</Value>";
            XMLParam += "</Parameter>";
        // if this is a superfluous marker then don't add it to the XML string, just go on to the next
        if(cont) {
            continue;
        // get / set additional marker meta data
        curMarkerTime = layerMarkers.keyTime(j) * 1000;
        curMarkerName = layerMarkers.keyValue(j).cuePointName;
        curMarkerType = "actionscript";
        // assemble the full XML element for this cue point
        curMarkerXML = "<CuePoint><Time>" + curMarkerTime + "</Time><Type>" + curMarkerType + "</Type><Name>" + curMarkerName + "</Name><Parameters>" + XMLParam + "</Parameters></CuePoint>";
        XMLTemp += curMarkerXML;
//Comp markers
var tempText = comp.layers.addText("");
var tempSrc = tempText.text.sourceText;
tempSrc.expression = "thisComp.marker.numKeys";
markerCount = Number(tempSrc.value);
if(markerCount > 0) {
    for (i=1; i<=markerCount; i++) {
        tempSrc.expression = "thisComp.marker.key(" + i + ").time;";
        curMarkerTime = Number(tempSrc.value) * 1000;
        tempSrc.expression = "thisComp.marker.key(" + i + ").cuePointName;";
        curMarkerName = String(tempSrc.value);
        tempSrc.expression = "thisComp.marker.key(" + i + ").eventCuePoint;";
        if(tempSrc.value == "true") {
            curMarkerType = "event";
        } else {
            curMarkerType = "navigation";
        curMarkerXML = "<CuePoint><Time>" + curMarkerTime + "</Time><Type>" + curMarkerType + "</Type><Name>" + curMarkerName + "</Name></CuePoint>";
        XMLTemp += curMarkerXML;
tempText.remove();
//create output string
XMLFinal = XMLStart + XMLTemp + XMLEnd;
//Write file
var cueFile = File.saveDialog("Save the XML file", "XML:*.xml" );
cueFile.open("W");
cueFile.write(XMLFinal);
cueFile.close();
