Cue Points Lost When FLV URL Is Relative

hi all
i've got an flv which i have put a cue point in at the end
(to launch a new swf when the flv is finished). everything works
fine but my contentPath displays an absolute url. when i change
this to a relative url the cuePoints field goes blank and loses the
information previously inserted.
i need to upload the swf to a proof, development and live
server so i need the url to be relative, but retain the cue point
info.
any help greatly appreciated.
;-)

ok so i managed to get it working by bypassing the cue points
in the flv, putting the following actionscript into the timeline
and changing the flv contentPath to a relative location. while this
works fine for a single action at the end of the film im still
unsure what to do to retain the flv cuepoints when specifying a
relative contentPath... any ideas?!
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.complete = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
// insert event-handling code here
my_FLV.addEventListener("complete", listenerObject);

  • Possible to add cue points to a FLV recorded by webcam?

    Hello,
    I am wondering if it is possible to add/inject a cue point to an FLV server-side that has been recorded/published from a users webcam using FMS3.5.
    Thank you

    Sure, you can do that on the server side. Assume you have a stream named foo that is recording, you can do something like:
    var s = Stream.get("foo");
    s.send("myCuepointFunction", var1, var2, var3);
    When played back, the client side function "myCuepointFunction" will be invoked on the stream's client property (or, in AS2, you'd need a function on the netstream object named myCuepointFunction).

  • Flash CS4, Using ActionScript in Buttons to go to cue points in a FLV

    Hi.
    I'm pretty much a Flash novice, so i don't think this question is particularly hard, it's just something that's vexing me for a few days. I know it's possible based on all the literature I've  read, but I can't seem to get it done properly.
    Basically, I have a video file that I rendered in FLV with 5 navigation points called 1, 2, 3, 4, 5.
    What I want to do is use buttons to navigate to the five cue point in the flash movie. I think that this is possible using ActionScipt 2, but I don't know what to code in the script function.
    Any help would be very, very appreciated.
    Thanks,
    Javier

    Hi,
    The following AS2 code may help you

  • 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.

  • Navigating from Cue Points in a FLV

    I am using Flash CS3 and AS2 on a PC. I am making a CD in Flash, for a client. The CD has videos, images and text. What I need is be able to go to the next scene once an FLV has finished playing. Also if a new FLV can be loaded once the curent ends. The FLV is in the FLVPlayback component. I need to add Cue Points which I can use to navigate with. The client would prefer a minimum of buttons, and thus auto navigation once a point is reached. I am not an expert with ActionScript, so please make your answers idiot friendly. I would prefer to avoid the need for me to use third party software or add-ons unless absolutely necessary. Thanks in advance.

    open the as2 help files, click on "actionscript 2.0 component language reference", click on flvplayback component and click on flvplayback class.  you only need to check the following sections:
    flvplayback.complete (to detect when an flv has completed play so you can start your next flv)
    flvplayback.addascuepoints (to add cuepoints that you can use to navigate).
    there is sample code in the help files.  copy the sample code and adjust the instance name(s) to match your project.  if you have any trouble, return with your code attempt and the issue.

  • Cue points lost after iTunes Match

    I've bought iTunes Match .Than I matched a track from 192kbps to 256
    everything remained the same playlists etc. only the cue points are gone in serato.
    I do everything through iTunes in serato scratch live SL2 .
    - Is there a solution that I do not now thousands of new cue points? is there a program?
    -true, the data itself is stored in the file, the information of the cue points and not in serato. Did I get that right so far? Can I COPY AND PASTE this information to THE matched file to get my cue points?
    where can I find this information?. e.g. I think about id3 tag or in iTunes itself .
    Thanks for your help

    I also sent an email to Apple support and they resolved the issue really quickly for me. In about 2 hours from emailing them my iTunes was back to uploading the final few hundred songs to icloud.
    Apparently you can only switch to a different store every 90 days so be wary of clicking "view in itunes" on items that may not be available in your country and allowing it to change stores to view it.
    This is the main part of the email the support guy sent me:
    I've removed the associated device from your Apple ID. You can now associate this device with the Apple ID ... . Please note that this is an exception to the iTunes Store Terms and Conditions, which state that "you may switch an Associated Device to a different Account only once every 90 days."
    To see the complete iTunes Store terms and conditions, see:

    Pretty impressed how quick they fixed it.

  • [Q] Can I insert the cue point when recording an FLV via FMS2???

    Hi... :)
    I think this can be a simple yes/no question...
    Does anybody know if I can insert the cue point when
    recording an FLV via FMS2 via AS???
    Thanks... :)
    CyanBlue

    According with fms2 documentation, you can define cue points
    in an FLV file when you first encode the file, or when you import a
    video clip in the Flash authoring tool by using the Video Import
    wizard.
    The FMS2 only handles with cue points.... using the
    NetStream.onCuePoint event handler.

  • Displaying previous FLV cue point during scrubbing

    I have a single FLV that has 10 different scenes in it. I've
    been able to make a "credit" list for each scene by adding
    actionscript cue points in the FLV component, and displaying the
    info using dynamic text. It all works fine.
    Now I want the dynamic text to reflect the current scene when
    the end user scrubs through the video using the seek bar. (Or at
    least after the seek bar is released and the FLV begins to play
    again.)
    I just need a head start, I think.
    Thanks for listening!
    David

    Thank you again Dima!!!
    Now I've CS6 now but the only way that I see to have flv is: Creates (I'm translating from my language) => Flash, from menu file.
    I need to insert cue point ("navigation" like in Media Encore Cs5.5).
    But the only marker that I see in CS6 is named "Chapter" (translating form my language).
    If I create an flv file (like above) I obtain two different flv files (one for chapter).
    Is there a way to insert inside the flv file the "navigation" cue points?
    Thank you again Dima.

  • FLV and Event Cue Points

    Hi,
    I am streaming and flv file with numerous event cue points.
    When each cue point is reached I attach different movie clips. The
    problem is I need to add custom fast forward and rewind buttons to
    the video. I tried using netStream.seek(netStream.time +5) which
    works, but it skips over the event cue points. So when you stop
    fast forwarding the wrong movie clip is attached.
    Is there another way to fast forward the video and still have
    the event cue points recognized?
    Thanks,
    Caroline

    if (index="introductionText")
    I think you need double =, like this:
    if (index=="introductionText")

  • 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(õ\  type   event 
      2       name   q2in  time @V£¥ãS÷Ï  type   event 
      3       name   q2out  time @^/ Ÿ¾w  type   event 
      4       name   q3in  time @_Oß;d  type   event 
      5       name   q3out  time @nE™™™™š  type   event

    Any idea why AME is doing this?

  • FLV/Mp3 Cue Points for Accessing Frame Labels on the Main Timeline in Flash 8

    Hello,
    In Flash MX2004, creating cue points for syncing locations on
    flv and mp3 files to locations on the main timeline included:
    1) Dragging a media component onto the stage
    2) Entering file path, frame label name, and time code
    information in the component inspector
    3) Creating the frame label names on the main timeline, and
    4) Enabling the Media Labeled Frame Cue Point Navigation
    Behavior
    Flash 8 documentation details a considerably different
    process of creating cue points. While it discusses how to create
    cue points in the flv, I have not been able to locate how to enable
    linking locations in flv and mp3 files with frame labels on the man
    timeline. It appears that there would need to be ActionScript
    necessary to accomplish this that is not available in the docs.
    Please advise what ActionScript/process would enable this
    function.
    Thank you!

    I usually start off solving problems with the livedocs, as I
    recommend for anyone. The following link will take you to the
    NetStream.onCuePoint handler. This is what you need.
    http://livedocs.macromedia.com/flash/8/main/wwhelp/wwhimpl/common/html/wwhelp.htm?context= LiveDocs_Parts&file=00002561.html
    You can have this code on the main timeline. When the
    cuepoint is hit, it will invoke this event handler and inside is
    where your gotoAndPlay( ) should go.
    Your other question about the text will get activated by the
    same handler. Just have a conditional statement (if, switch, etc.)
    to differentiate between the two events. The text itself can be
    mask inside a movieclip.
    Does this help?

  • Rendering .flv with cue points but maintaining video size

    When I render an .flv by exporting in After Effects I cannot get cue points however when I import the .flv to a Flash doc, the controller is the same width as the video.
    However, in order to get cue points, you have to add the video to the Render Queue in AE in order to see the cue points in Flash. But the video controller ends up wider than the video itself when imported to Flash.
    My video is 495 wide by 360 high. When I render in AE in the Render Queue, and then import to a Flash doc, the video controller is about 30 pixels wider on both the left and right of the video. This looks goofy. Is their a way to resolve this?
    Thank you.

    Thank you for responding. I tried to but what happens is that that there is about 15 pixels of black space on the left and 15 pixels on the right side of he video. This does not happen when I export to Flash, only when I add to the Render Queue.
    So If I adjust the video size in Flash, the video size changes however the black space still remains. Somehow AE is creating extra space black space on both sides of the .flv. Again, this does not happen when export to .flv.

  • Exporting FLV With Cue Points In Adobe Premiere Pro CS5

    Hello
    I am currently using Adobe Premiere Pro CS5 to export to a FLV file with flash cue points. I have managed to do this but I also want to export (separately) a list of all the time codes of the cue points in the clip. I see that you can save the cue points to an xml file but it doesn't come up with the time codes (well it does, but it is in milliseconds and amongst other things). Is there any way I can save a list of the time codes of the cue points on my FLV file, rather than having to manually type it out?
    Thanks,
    Rvnistelrooy

    I don't think there is any easy way to do this, but one thing I could suggest is to export the metadata as an xml side car and then use the text editor to extract the times.  I'm not sure this would work, but it's worth a try.
    Cheers,
    Dennis

  • FLV Cue Points from Soundbooth

    I am having a strange issue. I have several audio files that I have opened in Sounbooth and added cue points. I saved the files as FLVs. Upon importing into Flash CS4 with the FLVPlayback component, my cue points are not loading. The component inspector shows "cuePoints: None".  In a test I did before the New Year, the cue points loaded fine. I have no idea what I did differently this time.  Any ideas?  I know I can add the cue points in the FLVPlayback component, but I'd rather be able to do it in Soundbooth.
    Thank you!

    This is an annoying work around, but here's how I got the cue points from Soundbooth to be recognized in Flash:
    Opened the original MP3 in Soundbooth
    Added my markers/cue points
    Saved As ".AVI"
    Saved again as ".F4V" (not FLV)
    Imported the F4V into the FLVPlayback component
    NOTE: If you add a new cue point to the FLV and try to resave as the same file name, the latest cue point will not import into Flash. I had to do yet another save as and pick a new file name.
    Going to try to eliminate the AVI step, but note hopeful.
    Hope this helps others.

  • 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.
