Cue point Woes.

I just can't understand it. I've read though the help docs
and looked at numerous code samples but i just can't find out what
the hell i'm doing wrong. Help!
ok. so on my stage i've got this.
<mx:VideoDisplay
x="438"
y="11"
width="400"
height="300"
id="theVideo"
name="theVideo"
playheadUpdate="updateTimer();"
ready="theVideo_init();"
cuePoint="theVideo_cuePoint(event)"
/>
on my application initalize, i've got
theVideo.source = "edit.flv";
..my video plays fine.
I've got a button to set up cue points.
private function updateCuePoints():void {
var i:int = new int;
for(i=0; i<1; i++) {
var cueObj:Object = new Object;
cueObj.cueTitle = "cue1";
cueObj.cueTime = 10;
createCuePoint(cueObj.cueTitle, cueObj.cueTime);
private function createCuePoint(cTitle:String,
cTime:String):void {
var cuePt:Object = new Object(); //create cue point object
cuePt.time = Number(cTime);
cuePt.name = cTitle;
cuePt.type = "actionscript";
theVideo.cuePointManager.addCuePoint(cuePt); //add AS cue
point
this is where i get the error ...it insists i'm referencing a
null object or method, but all the livedocs says otherwise. Also,
that button is a manual click until i get this bloody thing
working. (and no, its not clicked before the video is playing.)-
Of course, I have my imports too..
import mx.events.CuePointEvent;
import mx.controls.videoClasses.CuePointManager;
somebody PLEASE help :<

Howdy,
Firstly, I haven't got to video in Flex yet, but here's a
crack at it for you.
Looking at:
cuePt.time = Number(cTime);
cuePt.name = cTitle;
cuePt.type = "actionscript";
According to the
CuePointManager reference, the function
addCuePoint() requests the parameters:
array - the Array of all cue points.
index - the index into the Array for the returned cue point.
Therefore, if I'm right, it's giving you the error because it
has no idea what you mean by
time, name or
type.
Hopefully, that helps you.
Let me know how you go, and if I'm off the mark, I'll give it
another look for you.
Cheers.

Soundbooth CS5 FLV Cue Point Woes

I have been attempting to use Soundbooth CS5 to insert cuepoints in .flv files (audio track only) to cue up some audio stuff in Flash using the FLVPlayback Class. It seems the implementation of cuepoints/markers in Soundbooth is really buggy and prone to either not working at all or producing unexpected results. Here are some problems I have encountered:
1. Soundbooth regularly does not save the cuepoints (markers) in a way that the Flash Player can detect.
This is easily verifiable - no MetaDataEvents are dispatched on playback (to indicate a cuepoint has been reached) and the 'findNearestCuePoint' method of FLVPlayback returns an Object with a null 'array' property - I have to use this to access the cuepoints when the flv is loaded (for some pre-processing) because, weirdly, Adobe engineers did not think that making the cuepoints accessible for a (fully loaded) .flv was useful - there is a cuepoints property but it is write-only. Yet, I can get an array of them via this method! Bizarre.
Both of these things (MetaDataEvent dispatch & the cuepoints array 'hack') occasionally work so I'm confident it's not my code. In fact, I have some .flv files that work perfectly and some that don't - these have all been created by me in Soundbooth.
At first, saving cue points did not work at all for any file! I struggled with this for two days before resorting to re-installing SB and it magically started (almost) working.
2. Soundbooth sometimes doesn't save changes to the markers.
When SB does feel like saving the cue points (and they are picked up in Flash), subsequent edits appear in the SB interface (eg. deleting a marker) but not in Flash. I have .flvs that I've edited which will report x number of markers but the 'findNearestCuePoint' objects 'array' property returns an array of the length before I made the changes/re-saved the file.
3. Soundbooth sometimes doesn't like re-saving files created in Soundbooth.
I open up the .flv created in Soundbooth itself, edit it and then hit 'Save', this appears:
"The file was saved with unknown compression or with an unsupported destination rate, please choose your destination format and language".
Great. It takes me to 'Save As' so I can select a new name/file-format and I just select the same one it was saved under before (.flv). I have to change the filename too, because SB doesn't like saving over a file that's open in SB, either.
4. Sometimes it all works!
And I have no idea why. I just keep opening the file I need to use re-save it under a different file name, select different export options, re-compile my app and sometimes it works fine - my app doesn't throw any errors (the ones it throws when there are no cuepoints, or the number of cuepoints is not the number it expects).
At first I thought it was the export settings but it isn't - I can select the same ones each time and get different results. Saving the export settings makes no difference, it NEVER works the second time round.
I can provide code/files if needed.

I have a solution. Bring the mp3 file that you edited into Premiere. From Premiere, export
media to an flv. From within the export media dialog, import your cue points xml file. It worked on my first try.
The problem is: why does it work from Premiere, but not Media Encoder or Soundbooth?
Adobe, please fix this, it's a very bad bug!

Flash Video Cue Points don't work

I used the template sample from Adobe named :Flash video
template: Showcase website for personal video...I followed all the
steps sugested. I used Flash Video Encoder, created the cue points,
worte down the location of those cue points, which I wrote exactly
in the Settings.XML file for each chapter....etc. I guarantee you
that I did it all as sugested...In fact several months ago, it
worked for another project and another videos that I had.
But this time, when I am testing it, the video appears in the
screen all right but when I select a chapter for the section of
that video, an error appears like this :
VideoError: 1003: Invalid seek
at fl.video::VideoPlayer/seek()
at fl.video::FLVPlayback/seek()
at
Video_fla::MainTimeline/chapterClickHandler()[Video_fla.MainTimeline::frame1:184]
VideoError: 1003: Invalid seek
at fl.video::VideoPlayer/seek()
at fl.video::FLVPlayback/seek()
at
Video_fla::MainTimeline/chapterClickHandler()[Video_fla.MainTimeline::frame1:184]
My Settings file has the correspondent locations for each cue
point, like this :

I have my file structure right as well in each folder IMG and

What does this error means and how can I correct the
problem.....I have been expending hours trying different ways and
still can't get it to work.
Thanks,
Edna

you don't need a cuepoint to detect the end of your video. use:
var lo:Object = {};
lo.complete = function(eObj:Object):Void {
next_btn._visible=true;
flv_pb.addEventListener("complete", lo); // <- use the instance name of your flvpb component

Premiere CS3: How can you encode xml cue point data in the chapter section of a marker for FlashVid?

Hi there,
I'm a total newb to this forum, so hello adobe premiere community! I'm perplexed by Adobes documentation on Premiere (and I'm sure I'm not the first ) anyway on the live documents page below:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/3.0/help.html?content=WS9390BED7-9466-46ea-A0E A-3240F1AFC36C.html
it states that:
“The cue point data in the Chapter field of a sequence marker in Adobe Premiere Pro will be encoded as Flash XML. For the XML protocol required, see Flash Help.”
Which is great…except this information doesn’t exist seemingly in either the Premiere documentation or Flash either for that matter, but as I’m interested in working with the chapter/marker area in Premiere – should I really be told to go off and search the documentation for another application, probably not! What would have been useful would have been a code snippet saying you do it like this, but of course, that would make things too easy!
Basically, I understand that in After FX you can add Flash marker information specifically for interpretation when exporting to Flash Video (i.e. name, type and parameters etc) and it suggests that you can do the same above in Premiere CS3 using some kind of concatenated string in the chapter area…it just doesn’t tell you how anywhere seemingly – WHY ADOBE!
Currently when I export markers as cue points based on the advice in the page above, anything I put in the chapter section to force Premiere to create a cue point is converted to a string, which becomes the cue point ‘name’.
This cue point name is then automatically appended to the ‘time’ the marker was inserted at and is always encoded as type ‘navigation’, with no obvious means of adding ‘parameters’ into the equation.
So (finally) does anyone know if you can insert this information into the chapter area for correct interpretation by flash (i.e. thus allowing you to choose between either 'navigation' or 'event' types, and pass as many 'parameters' as you wish etc) or are you just limited to supplying a name, and it being automatically set to the navigation type with no parameters?
I’m sorry for this long essay but at least the issue is well defined for you to answer, honestly any help you can provide what so ever would really be most appreciated!
Best regards,
Kat
PS – I have utterly no knowledge of XML either just in case you were wondering – and my only interest in XML is getting this basic information encoded into the FLV file from Premiere Pro CS3! Please help, pretty please with daisy’s!!!

Hi dradeke,
Thanks for your reply, which is indeed useful as clearly Adobe have made this task easier and less obscure in CS4 by adding simple interface functionality, however I'm stuck with using CS3 for the moment. Its not majorly a problem as the video material in question can be exported uncompressed then setup with cue points using the Flash encoder as an alternative (i.e. or even After FX CS3 also) which both provide the same features as Premiere CS4 seemingly. It is just that it would be much easier to be able to drop in simple markers whilst working with Premiere CS3, as this is what we are going to be using primarily, I just wondered if anyone knew how to invoke this in CS3 - its possible you can't, the documentation is vague at best!
However I really appreciate your response and help, thanks

Create navigation cue points in a FLV file using Media Encoder CC

When I export a FLV file with Navigation cue points created in Media Encoder CC (by loading a cue points XML file), upon examining the file I see that the cue points are recorded as Event type cue points in the metadata at the top of the file.
When I load the FLV file in Flash, I can receive cue point notifications using action script while the video is played, but cannot use seekToNavCuePoint to move the play head to one of the cue points, which accords them being Events rather than Navigation points.
I am wondering if there are any other export settings which need to be particular values in order for navigation cue points to be created properly in the exported file?

Lestyn, thanks for the verification. Took me a frantic 4 hours to arrive at the same conclusion. Do these people test their software???
Maddening.

Using cue points to change a text box

Ok I asked a simlar question before but I am still having trouble getting it to work.
I have a video with 11 Cue points and at each cuepint I want the Typebox to change it text at each cue point.
When the video is playing I want a the textbox to change the text when cue point 1 is reached. This is the code I am using. But every always goes straight to the whatever the last functions text and skips all the other before it. Its bassically this code repeated with difffernt function name and string.
import fl.video.MetadataEvent;
flvplayer.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT,section2Cue);
function section2Cue(event:MetadataEvent):void{
    for(var String = "section2" in event.info){
        typebox.text = "Hello";                        }
So basically I want to tell flash, when CuePoint1 is reached text = "hello world" and when CuePoint2 is reached I want the text ="Hello Again". I don't know what I am doing wrong or what is the best way to tell flash how to do this

Ok, I tryed that code Basically I want to call upon each cue point individually and have an event for each one. So how i tell it to display this only when Cuepoint1 is reach and display that only when Cuepoint2 is reached. What data would help ?
Most of my code is just buttons to reach each cuepoint within the video. I got that to work fine.
I'll supply it anyways

As for data? This is all I know about my CuePoints
Would the best way to acheive changing type is to change the way my movie clips are set up? Instead of telling it within the actionscript maybe telling it to go to next frame within a movieclip with the content? I don't know exactly how to word what I am trying to acheive but I'm trying!
thanks!

Final Cut Pro to Flash -- Inserting and Using Cue Points

I want to export a flash video using File - Export - Using Quick Time Conversion and selecting Flash. Under options for Flash, I see something about "Cue Points".
My assumption is that these would be points that you can insert that are similar to chapter markers and that you could have the Flash player on a web page jump back and forth between them.
Does anyone know of any documentation on inserting these points in Final Cut export? I couldn't figure it out. It looks like you give them a name and a timecode. I could not enter the timecode.
How about over on the player side? I assume some sort ActionScript in Flash is required. Has anyone seen a simple example/tutorial of these capabilities?

Apart from disabling time machine, iCal and any other programs or applications from taking focus. Time machine and software updates can certainly be told not to try as far as I recall.

Calculating duration between cue point?

I'm using Flash Pro CS3. My project is AS2 targeting FP8.
I have an flv component on stage. My .flv has cue points and
I have buttons underneath the component that show the title of each
navigation cuepoint in a dynamic text field. I have another dynamic
text field that shows the cuepoint time for each cuepoint,
positioned next the the title of the cuepoint. That all works well
but hoping to accomplish a bit more and can't find any code help.
The three things I'm trying to do are:
1. Instead of showing current time at a particular cuepoint,
show the duration of the section/chapter, if you will. How can I
calculate duration between two cuepoints and display it in my
dynamic text field? Is there something I should do when
encoding/adding the cuepoints or can I use AS with the cuepoints I
have?
2. Once I get that duration and have it display instead of
the actual cuepoint time, have it countdown backwards when the
playhead is in that "chapter"?
3. Show these times in the mm:ss format?
Thanks for any help or links you think might be helpful...

How do you add cue points to a MOV file that Director 12 can read?

I have just downloaded the Trial of Director 12 - and unless I can add cue points to video that it can interpret - I am not going to be able to achieve what I need to. I've spent the last day and a half looking over the scant documentation provided by Adobe, and anything else I could find online - but the only answers that came anywhere near were for old versions using discontinued xtras.
Please can anyone help? - I am using Windows 7 64 bit - CS6.
Thanks in advance. :-)

Probably too late for your project but...
You can do this by using 3 sprites in addition to the SWF. In this example, I've named them "videoPlay", "videoRewind, and "videoStop". The SWF in this case was named "video."
Apply this script to each of the 3 sprites.
property mySprite
on beginSprite me
mySprite = sprite(me.spriteNum)
end
on mouseUp me
case mySprite.name of
    "videoPlay":
      sprite("video").play()
    "videoStop":
      sprite("video").stop()
    "videoRewind":
      sprite("video").stop()
      sprite("video").rewind()
end case
end

Using audio cue points in a flash movie

Hello all,
I am trying to put together some simple videos for my kids to
play on their ipods to study on the way to school.
I put together a real simple slide show, and prepared an
audio track. I polished it up in soundbooth, and included some
markers in the audio track. I was hoping to find a way to pause the
slideshow, until the marker is reached in the audio track. I have
done this before in director, but just cannot seem to figure it out
in flash cs3. Any help you can give would be appreciated.
Thanks, BobR

Hi,
The following AS2 code may help you
stop();
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.ready = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
<your flv playback instance name>.addEventListener("ready", listenerObject);
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.cuePoint = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
<your button instance name>.onRelease = function () {
playback.seekToNavCuePoint("<your cue point name>");
<your flv playback instance name>.addEventListener("cuePoint", listenerObject);
\\replace all the placeholder things including the < >

I need help with my event-based cue points with audio

Im having trouble with my video game project for my action script 3 class at school. Here is what i did, i made a game called Tailgate toss up. I filmed my character and rendered it in Adobe Premiere. I than brought my .mov file into After Effects and I put event-based cue points-
my first cue point at 0:00:03:13 called "loop"
my second cue point at 00:00:03:27 called "draw"
my third cue point at 00:00:05:24 called "bang"
my fourth cue point at 00:00:13:29 called "dead"
my fifth cue point at 00:00:14:29 called "You Lose"
my last cue point at 00:00:19:14 called "End"
Here is my action script 3 code

When I have no audio it works perfectly, no problems. When I bring audio in i re-render it as a .mov file and bring it back into After Effects and add the cue points to it. Than i re-render it out again as a flv file. When i bring it into my flash project it will work when the looping variable does just one loop and my target will appear so you can click on it or not. But when the looping variable makes it loop 2 to 10 times it skips over the catching (the part of the clip if you clip the button) and goes directly to the dropping of the can, not giving you the option of clicking the button. So basically it skips the "draw" or second cue point of my game and goes to "You Lose" cue point.
Any suggestions?

Hi,
The latest audio driver for your machine is on the following link.

HTML link to FLV cue point

I am reasonably new to Flash and would like to know if I can
create a html link to a cue point in a flash video file or to a
particular frame in a normal swf file. If so, what is the correct
syntax?

Ok, I seemed to have succesfully linked to the cuepoints
using, for example, the code below.
[CODE]
programsa.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,programsaClick);
function programsaClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
movie1.seekToNavCuePoint("Programs");
[/CODE]
However, now I have another issue. The FLV is on frame 2 and
I want to navigate to it using buttons on frame 1. However when I
try the following:
[CODE]
programsa.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,programsaClick);
function programsaClick(event:MouseEvent):void {
gotoAndStop("movie");
movie1.seekToNavCuePoint("Programs");
[/CODE]
I get the error:
TypeError: Error #1009: Cannot access a property or method of
a null object reference.
at videobig_fla::MainTimeline/programsClick()
So, how can I tell a button to go to a cuepoint for a movie
that's on a different frame?

Need several buttons that each target a video cue point but only one works

I have the code that works for one button to find a cue point but how can I make this work for several buttons and their respective cue points?
"seek-btn2" to find cue 2(named "lou2")
import fl.video.*;
// Video component instance name
var flvControl:FLVPlayback = display;
var flvSource:String = "lou.flv";
// Set video
flvControl.source = flvSource;
// Add seek functionality to the button
function seekHandler(event:MouseEvent):void
flvControl.seekToNavCuePoint("lou1")
//seek_btn is the button instance name
seek_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, seekHandler);
when i repeat the last part of the code it does not work, thanks for your time....

Thanks but where would I insert that code and what would I take out from the original code I posted?
i tried this....
import fl.video.*;
// Video component instance name
var flvControl:FLVPlayback = display;
var flvSource:String = "lou.flv";
// Set video
flvControl.source = flvSource;
seek_btn1.cuePointName = new String();
seek_btn1.cuePointName = "lou1";
seek_btn1.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onButtonPress);
seek_btn2.cuePointName = new String();
seek_btn2.cuePointName = "lou2";
seek_btn2.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, onButtonPress);
// onButtonPress function
private function onButtonPress(evt:MouseEvent):void {
flvControl.seekToNavCuePoint(evt.target.cuePointName);

Pause on Cue Point

I have set a cue point in my FLV at 58 seconds. Can someone
tell / show me
how I can add a pause to the video when it reaches that first
cue point. I
have it set (intially) called break and it is set to 'Event'.
Thanks. I am an eager noobie to Flash video and actionscript.

NetStream events have nothing to do with cue points.
onCuePoint method belongs to NetStream client. So, you will need
something like this:
client.onCuePoint = pointListener;
function pointListener (cuePoint:Object):void {
trace(cuePoint.name + " " + cuePoint.time);
In a nutshell NetStream events are fired when changes occur
in video delivery (buffer, start, pause, etc.) - not video content.
More information:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/flash/9.0/ActionScriptLangRefV3/flash/net/NetStream.html
As for your code, your syntax is not correct.
You wrote: vid.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS,
"myFirstCuePoint");
If you listener function is myFirstCuePoint you need to
write:
vid.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS,
myFirstCuePoint); - no quotes.
Also, I don't use FLVPlayback - it has it's own methods and
events. What I wrote pertains to the cases when NetSream and
NetConnection are used stand alone.
