FLV Stops at first Cue Point

Anyone have any idea why an FLV would stop at the first cue
piont? I've switched the cue point to event AND navigation and it
stops every time... can't figure it out.

OK, now not anymore. Didn't change anything.

Need .flv to pause on Cue Point usingActionScript 3

I'm creating a presentaiton of a Google Earth flythru. At
specific (cue) points I need the FLV to pause and then when the
presenter pushes a key (space bar) the FLV continues to play. I
have a good understanding of the Event Listener process for AS 3.0
but am not sure how to address the the action of the pausing once
the flv reaches the cue point. Does anyone know of any good
tutorials? Or any helpful insight?
Thanks,
Mike

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.)

How to insert cue point in flv with cloud applications

Hello,
I'm new in creative cloud.
With my previous version of adobe suite, with adobe media encoder, it was possible to insert cue point.
In Adobe media encoder CC 2014 it seems not to be possible.
Could you help me?
Thanks.

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

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
///first frame:
start_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, startGame);
function startGame(event:MouseEvent){
gotoAndStop(2);
SoundMixer.stopAll()
stop();
///second frame:
stop();
var loopTime
var hitHim:Boolean = false;
var vConnection:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
vConnection.connect(null);
var vStream:NetStream = new NetStream(vConnection);
var client:Object = new Object();
client.onCuePoint = onCuePoint;
vStream.client = client;
var myVideo:Video = new Video(418, 480);
myVideo.y = 0; ///this adjusts where the video is, right now it is the size of the canvas which is 418,480
addChild(myVideo);
myVideo.attachNetStream(vStream);
vStream.play("michelle.flv");
var throw_bottle:Sound
throw_bottle = new Sound(new URLRequest("audio/throw_bottle.mp3")); //change to button noise, will add sound into ae file
target_mc.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, shoot);
target_mc.buttonMode = true;
target_mc.visible = false;
draw_mc.visible = false;
function onCuePoint(cuePoint:Object):void {
   if(cuePoint.name == "loop"){
loopTime = cuePoint.time;
    if(cuePoint.name == "draw"){
var randomLoop:Number = Math.random()*10;
if(randomLoop > 2){
vStream.seek(loopTime);
}else{
setChildIndex(target_mc, numChildren - 1);
setChildIndex(draw_mc, numChildren - 1);
target_mc.visible = true;
draw_mc.visible = true;
if(cuePoint.time == "5:24"){
draw_mc.visible = false;
target_mc.visible = false;
if(!hitHim){
vStream.seek(15);
if(cuePoint.name == "dead"){
vStream.close();
myVideo.clear();
gotoAndStop(3);
if(cuePoint.name == "end"){
gotoAndStop(3);
function shoot(event:MouseEvent){
throw_bottle.play();
hitHim = true;
///my third and last frame
playAgain_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, playAgain);
function playAgain(event:MouseEvent){
gotoAndStop(2);
SoundMixer.stopAll()
stop();
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?

Tracing cue points in dynamically loaded video

The beauty of using a video object in Flash is that you don't
have to import the .flv file (at least that's how I understand
this). I've loaded Untitled.flv dynamically using the code below
and it plays just fine. I've created my own video player buttons
and they work fine as well.
I've encoded my Untitled.flv and created a cue point at 10
secs with the following info:
Name: cuePtEnd
Time: 00:00:10.00
Type: Event
I left the parameters window empty.
I want to trace the following statement, "Cue point reached"
once this cue point is reached. I have an idea of how to do this
using the FLVPlayback component, but if I place an instance of this
on the stage, I'll have two videos, the one that I'm loading
dynamically and the instance of FLVPlayback. I don't want to use
components; I'm a little confused at this point; please help.

Make a simple Director movie. Link your video file and place
the sprite on the stage. Add two buttons. Use the first button to
start and stop the video. Use the second button to record the
movieTime. You can use this sample if you like:
http://www.ddg-designs.com/downloads/movieTime.zip.
Play the video, and at each point where you want the video to
start at a new point, click on the second button. When you are
finished, you will have a list of all of the starting points for
the video. You can do the same thing for the end times of each
section.
Once you have this list, you can use these as you would use
the cue points.

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

Cue Points

I have a flv which im loading in from another location (ie
its not embeded), and Im trying to create a loop point using cue
points.
I have 3 cue points: begining, loop_point, end
Basically when the playhead reaches the "end" cuepoint, I
want it to jump back to "loop_point"
Can anyone help? I have a deadline for monday to get this
finished!

Pewee2000,
> Oh sorry I get what you mean now. Yeh I imported without

Okay, I'm not exactly clear on what you just said, so I'm
going to
proceed as if you're using the FLVPlayback Component. Here's
the scoop on
using ActionScript. Just about everything is an object.
Objects are simply
"things" that behave a certain way. Movie clips are objects,
buttons are
objects ... FLVPlayback Component instances are objects --
you get the idea.
:) Objects are defined by something called classes. Think of
a class as a
given object's blueprint. You'll genearally see up to three
categories in a
class: properties, methods, and events. Properties are
characteristics an
object has, such as a movie clip's width and height. Methods
are things an
object can do, such as movie clip's ability to gotoAndPlay()
some frame.
Events are things an object can react to, such as a mouse
click.
In your case, the FLVPlayback events include a cuePoint
event. You can
see detailed information -- often including sample code --
for all the
properties, methods, and events of the FLVPlayback class by
looking up the
phrase "FLVPlayback class" in the Components Language
Reference right in the
built-in Help documentation. Component classes are listed in
this
reference, and normal classes are listed in the ActionScript
2.0 Language
Reference. In the AS Language Reference, the three categories
are combined
in each class entry, but for some reason the Components
Language Reference
separates them. But you'll see 'em when you look up the
class.
You'll want to take things slow and start with a *simple*
example.
Assuming you've added cue points through the Component
Inspector panel, your
FLV will honor those cue points during playback. Start your
journey by
looking up the cuePoint event in the "Event summary" section
for the
FLVPlayback class.
You'll see this:
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.cuePoint = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
// insert event-handling code here
my_FLVplybk.addEventListener("cuePoint", listenerObject);
... which may look scary if you're not a coder, but it works
like this:
first, a variable named listenerObject is delcared as a
generic Object
isntance. This object is your "ambassador" for the
FLVPlayback instance,
which features the cuePoint event. You assign a function to a
new cuePoint
property of your generic object. This function will be
executed when any
cue point occurs. Finally, you use the addEventListener()
method to
"subscribe" your FLVPlayback instance to the generic object,
listenerObject.
Now you're "listening" for cue points.
In the above example, the instance name for your FLVPlayback
instance
must be my_FLVplybk -- but you can make it whatever you like,
as long as the
ActionScript matches the instance name.
Where it says "// insert event-handling code here," you may
want to use
a trace function ...
trace("Here's a cue point!");
... just to prove to yourself that it works. Read up in the
documentation,
and you'll see that the eventObject object received by the
function contains
valuable information about the FLVPlayback instance that
dispatches the
cuePoint event. You can trace eventObject.target, for
example, and get a
reference back to your FLVPlayback instance.
trace(eventObject.target);
That reference would let you refer to the FLVPlayback
instance and
invoke FLVPlayback methods on it, such as your various seek
options for
looping.

Video cue point question

Is it possible to jump to a cue point directly when loading a new video?
I have a video for one of my sections on my flash web site and depending on from where the user is coming from, they either start to view at the beginning of the FLV, or at a cue point about 10 seconds in. Is that possible? Would there be any loading issues here? Would it load the 10 seconds, or if told to go to that cue point, would it start to load from that point?
Thanks a lot!

try:
var myVideo:Video = new Video();
addChild(myVideo);
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
myVideo.attachNetStream(ns);
nc.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
ns.addEventListener(NetStatusEvent.NET_STATUS, netStatusHandler);
ns.addEventListener(AsyncErrorEvent.ASYNC_ERROR, asyncErrorHandler);
ns.play("video/testFLV.flv");
ns.client = this;
function cuePointHandler(infoObject:Object):void
trace("cuePointHandler called");
trace("infoObject.name: " + infoObject.name);

Won't recognize cue point

Hello,
I have a project that I am using cue points. I have several in each video. The first works fine. The second and third do not recognize cue points i labled "end". I have gone through and removed the other cue points and kept only the "end" cue point. It still lists the first cue point even though it has been removed.

Are the cue points actually embedded in the video? or added via actionscript?
There are two parts to cue points... the cue point itself either embedded directly into the video or detailed via actionscript and then there is the "action" that the cue triggers.
If all you are doing is removing the "action" (event listener or whatever) but not the cue point you would see a situation very similar to what you describe.
Best to post the code used to create the cue points, the listeners, etc, and then describe in detail how cue points were first added and the later removed. So we need more details to better diagnose.
Best wishes,

Cue points - listener vs event?

I'm a little over my head here...
I have a movie that loads an external flv. In the flv I have
a cue point at
the very end to mark the end of the movie. Once the flv is
done playing,
I'd like to advance to the next frame.
There are a few posts here and there and I'm not sure if I'd
be better
testing for the end cue point with a listener or if it could
be an event.
Any help would be appreciated.
I'm using Flash 8 Pro/PC

David,
>> There are a few posts here and there and I'm not

a
>> listener or if it could be an event.
Cue points are events, no matter how you handle them. There
are three
basic categeories of object functionality: properties
(characteristics),
methods (things the object can do), and events (things the
object can react
to). An "end" cuepoint is something your video object reacts
to, so it's an
event. How you *handle* (that is, manage) this event depends
on how the
object was written. Some objects, such as Button, TextField,
and MovieClip
instances require event handlers. Some require event
listeners.
I blogged on this just the other day, so for what it's
worth, take a
look here ...

Hope that helps.

Cue Points with netstream

I've created a custom object without the FlvPlayback
component. I used the following code:
var nc:NetConnection = new NetConnection();
nc.connect(null);
var ns:NetStream = new NetStream(nc);
myVid.attachVideo(ns);
ns.play("flv/home/intro.flv");
That flv file has embedded cue points. How do I access them?
I can access them easily if I were using the FlvPlayback component,
but I don't think the cue points are getting through the netstream.
Any ideas?

use the ns.onCuePoint event handler.
