Cue Points and RTMPE

I'm hosting an FLV (with embedded event cue points) using
Flash media server 3.5 in the vod directory. While using Flash 9,
within component inspector, if I use rtmp protocol in contentPath,
I can populate the cue points information in the cuePoints section.
If I use rtmpe, I get failed to load FLV. I've tried using CS4 and
could not retreive cue points at all. Any help would be
appreciated.

I found that captions do reset from the starting point when I
press reply but cue points (events) don't.

FLV Cue Points and Captions

In FLVPlayback working in as2.0, created cuepoints for FLV and i added
captions wit xml file. but captions not loading
I did following steps and script.
*step1: layer 1 for flvplayback
*step2:layer2 for dynamic text(instance name-txtCaption)
step3: layer3 for actions and the script is
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
//ns.play("speech.flv");
ns.onMetaData = function(oMeta:Object) {
    trace("onMetaData >");
    trace("\tNumber of cue points: "+oMeta.cuePoints.length);
    for (var i:Number = 0; i<oMeta.cuePoints.length; i++) {
        var oCue:Object = oMeta.cuePoints[i];
        trace("\t\t"+i+": "+oCue.name+", "+oCue.type);
        var captionsXML:XML = new XML();
        captionsXML.ignoreWhite = true;
        captionsXML.onLoad = function():Void {
            captions = this.firstChild.childNodes;

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!

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...

Cue Point in FLV Help

I have a progresive flv with an instance name of myVid which
is already on the stage and set to autoplay via the component
parameters tab. When the video plays and gets to a cue point I want
the flv to pause. The cue point names (embedded when I used Flash
Video Encoder) are cp01, cp02, and cp03. The video doens't stop on
the specified cue point and instead just keeps playing. Can anyone
help me with my code? Is there a better way to do it? Here is what
I have so far:

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!

Stopping streaming video with cue points

I've been searching for a solution to this problem for weeks now. All i want to do is make a video streaming in a video object to stop on a cue point, and play from abother when a button is pushed. It's relatively simple, right? Wrong. Over a hundred $s in how-to books and several hours wasted searching online later and I have nothing. I have checked and re-checked the cuepoints are correct (i made them in flash video encoder CS3) and tried just about everything as far as AS is concerned. Here is my latest attempt: (obmintro is the player instance name, i have the rtmp info in source under player parameters and it plays fine)
import fl.video.MetadataEvent;
obmintro.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT, cp_listener);
function cp_listener(eventObject:Object):void
if (eventObject.object.name == "site_end");
obmintro.pause();
//i have also used stop, stop("obmintro"); and i don't even know what else.
please tell me what i'm doing wrong and how it's really supposed to be done. i'm feeling very hopeless and blonde right now. help a girl out?

you're welcome.
for anyone else with a similar issue, using the info property of the MetadataEvent is the correct way to proceed. (that event has no object property.)

Embedded FLV Cue Points not working

I am updating a project which uses an FLVPlayback component to play and navigate FLV videos using embedded Navigation cue points. The FLVs were originally encoded using an older version of AME, CS4 possibly. When trying to replace an FLV with a new one encoded using AME CS6, the embedded cue points do not work. Testing in Flash I get "VideoError: 1003: Invalid seek" when attempting to use "seekToNavCuePoint".
Comparing the two FLVs using Premiere shows no recognizable differences between them. They are the same format, their cue points are named identically, all are designated as Flash Cue Points, and all set to type "Navigation".
Digging into the FLV data, I've found that the cue point descriptions are formatted quite differently and I'm wondering if this is the source of the problem:
Excerpt from the original FLV (AME CS4?):
     <rdf:li>
      <rdf:Description
       xmpDM:trackName="AME Markers"
       xmpDM:frameRate="f254016000000">

          </rdf:Seq>
         </xmpDM:cuePointParams>
         </rdf:Description>
        </rdf:li>
Completely stumped here, any ideas appreciated!

More digging into the new FLV shows that while XMP defines the cue points as type "navigation", there is prior data in the file that defines all the cue points as "event". This makes sense, because my SWF is correctly listening for and reacting to an "end" cue point in the FLV, but will not seek to any cue point since they are all set as "event".
Copying and pasting from Notepad++:
cuePoints       0       name   q1in time @BYûçl‹D type   event
1       name   q1out time @JÜ(õÂ\ type   event
2       name   q2in time @V£¥ãS÷Ï type   event

Any idea why AME is doing this?

After Effects video cue point data error #1107

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.

//Layer markers
for(i=1; i<layerCount+1; 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;

Event Cue Points

I am working with event cue points and I have it working with
action script and embedded cue points. What I am trying to figure
out is how to tie a specific events or movie clip with specific cue
points. Right now all the movie clips play whenever I hit any cue
point. I have not figured out how to tie specific cue points with
specific events. Anyone have knowledge of this that can direct me
properly. I would highly appreciate it. Thanks

First of all thanks for the reply. I didn't explain myself
well. I know about the stop frame on the first frame. My cue points
are working. I want to be able to play different movies cued up at
different times in the video. Right now all my movie clips play at
all the cue points. I want a specific movie to play at a specific
cue point then later in the video another different clip play at a
difffent time element in the movie. Thanks. I really appreciate the
help.

Use cue points to automatically pause flv

I have a video that I would like to make play in steps. I
already have a custom flv playbar, so I would like to use cue
points to control it
Thanks in advance

i am looking for this same answer. i am not a pro at flash
but good enough to make my way around. Here is what I have done so
far....
using components i dragged the FLVPlayBack onto stage, i set
the source of the playback to my flv. as of right now, 'cuepoints'
is set to none. i'd like to be able to set in about 5 cue points
and have them auto pause each time they come up. any help would be
appreciated!
thanks,
travis

Using cue points

What is proper syntax and functions for dealing with cue points within an flv and what do the various parts mean and act?
I want to have flv files with cue points in them that I can catch to do other things within the swf file and I want to know how to set them up on both ends including what needs importing, what type of events catch cue points and such..

Ok, let's say that I made a cue point in an flv with Media Encoder
which has the cuepoint name of wingsdown and the parameter of WI
NGSDOWN with a value of 0. How would I be able to use that with an evenListener
to get something to happen elswhere on the stage?

Problems Using Cue points to Loop Video

Ok, so I want to use cue points to navigate through video. I want to start by simply looping the video from the end back to the beginning. I keep getting an invalid seek error 1003. Here is my code. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
import fl.video.MetadataEvent;
Movie.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT, loopFunction);
function loopFunction(e:MetadataEvent):void
    if (e.info.name == "end1")
        Movie.seekToNavCuePoint("beginning1");
        Movie.play();

At least you are getting notified even if the seek doesn't work.
A brief workaround could be to iterate over the cue points you detect in metadata, assigning each cue point name and time in an object. Once you hit the cue point you desire, see if the object has the time value and seek() to the time for that cue point rather than seeking for it by name.
e.g. (written briefly, you get the idea):
// object to hold time values
var cuePointArr:Object = new Object();
function onMetaData(infoObject:Object):void
    var cueIndex:String;
    for (cueIndex in infoObject.cuePoints)
        trace("Adding cue name[" + infoObject.cuePoints[cueIndex].name + "] at time[" + infoObject.cuePoints[cueIndex].time + "]");
                    // store as name = time
                    cuePointArr[infoObject.cuePoints[cueIndex].name] = infoObject.cuePoints[cueIndex].time;
function loopFunction(e:MetadataEvent):void
          // correct cue point and has a value in cuePointArr?
    if ((e.info.name == "end1")&&(curPointArr[e.info.name] != null))
                    // seek to time value
        Movie.seek(Number(cuePointArr[e.info.name]));
        Movie.play();
Moving 900mph here so forgive any typos but turning it into a normal seek based on the time value should work for now.

As3 cue points from soundbooth

hello one and all,
i am a bit frustrated because i can not find a straight forward howto/tutorial on accessing cue points from a flv or xml file produced in soundbooth and imported or read into flash so trigger a MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT event within an action script. i have fuzzy understanding about it but not quite enough to make it work properly and with small efficient code. can anyone direct me please to a good howto/tutorial on triggering an event when a cue point is hit when an audio file plays in flash cs4? btw, i only want to do it with pure audio and not video also, if that makes it simpler. thank you in advance and have a great day.
lucas

well, i got very lucky and after 6 days of searching for a good tutorial, i just finally got lucky. a piece here another there. essentially, soundbooth is a pretty suit little program and saving the cue points within are excellent also. it can even do it for video. anyway, i was only working with audio and was able to save my flv audio as audio only which included the embedded cue points and attached parameters. the below code, actionscript 3, works very well and i believe it is the simplest code for reading and triggering on cue points as the audio is played. txt1 and txt2 are simply dynamic text boxes on the stage on frame 1.
i still have a question though. how do i give the audio in the library an instance name outside of an actionscript? as you can see below, i create an FLVPlayback instance and load the file through as. with text boxes and rectangles and such, i can give those an instance name under Properties off of the stage. however, the audio is not visible on the stage so i can't access it through the Properties window. i can somewhat access it through the frame, that that is a frame label and not an instance variable. so, how do i assign an instance variable to audio outside of actionscript?
anyway, the code is below for anyone to use. thank you and have a great day. lucas
import fl.video.*;
trace("FLVPlayback Version = "+FLVPlayback.VERSION);
txt1.text = "file: \"1st.fla\", initializing...";
var p:Object;
var player:FLVPlayback = new FLVPlayback();
player.addEventListener("cuePoint",onCue);
player.load("voice1.flv");
player.play();
function onCue(e : MetadataEvent) : void {
txt2.text = e.info.time+"s";
trace("cue "+e.info.type+" name: \""+e.info.name+"\" @ time: "+e.info.time);
p = e.info.parameters;
if (p != undefined) {
txt1.text = e.info.parameters["en"];
trace("   name of \"en\" only: \""+e.info.parameters["en"]+"\"");
trace("   all name/value paired parameter(s).. .");
for (var n:String in p) {
trace("      "+n+"=\""+p[n]+"\"");
else {
txt1.text = e.info.name;

Need help with embedded cue points in FLV please (quickly/ :-))

Here is my scenario - I have a flv streaming in a swf. All I
want to do is to is call the cuepoint (event) in the flv, so that
it will go to and play somewhere else further down the timeline of
the swf - I don't think it should require much AS, but I haven't
done much communication of this sort between an flv and it's parent
swf. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks.

I figured it out. If anyone is interested, this the code snippet I found in Adobes help that allows you to access cue points and trigger events on flv's brought in with netstream:
function onCuePoint(infoObject:Object):void
trace("onCuePoint:");
for (var propName:String in infoObject) {
if (propName != "Run")
RunCuePoint.visible=true
else
trace("parameters =");
if (infoObject.parameters != undefined) {
for (var paramName:String in infoObject.parameters)
trace(" " + paramName + ": " + infoObject.parameters[paramName]);
