FLVPlayback with cue Points (2.0)

Question

HI,
I'm new to working with cuePoints and listeners. i using
actionscript 2.0 and i want to make a video clip (called "video")
to stop playing and become invisible after playing for 30 seconds.
does anyone no a good cut and dry way to pull this off?
thanks.

Sure. The events all work the same for FLVPlayback, so once
you get the
process, you'll be good.
var listener:Object = new Object();
listener.complete = function(evt:Object):Void {
video.stop();
video.visible = false;
video.addEventListener("complete", listener);
Still assuming an FLVPlayback instance name of "video," the
above should
do it. In AS2, there are at least four ways to handle events
-- much more
simplified in AS3 -- but the above shows how to do it for
FLVPlayback.
You need a generic Object instance, which you may as well
call
"listener," because it listens for the events. You'll assign
a function to
the complete event, which gets stored as a property of your
listener object.
The funtion, in this case, stops, the video and hides it.
Finally, you subscribe the complete event, and that listner
object, to
the FLVPlayback instance.
