How do I create cue point in FLV component

Ok team,
I have a video clip that needs to have sound with it, I also want to put motion graphics at certain points in the clip using Flash.
Ok so if I embed the clip into the timeline so that I can use another layer on top to do the graphics I get problems with the sound- I have even tried to have the sound as a separate file and play it using script starting the video and sound at the same time, but it gets out of whack..
If I import the video externally there is no way I can see what is going on so that I can do the graphics on top....
I am looking at adding cuepoints to the video to try to trigger my graphics in this way, it says online to go to the property inspector and right click on the cuepoints option, but when I go to the properties inspector it is telling me that this is not supported in AS3? so WTF! I am nearly ready to start punching myself in the head here... The online Adobe help I am looking at is for Actionscript 3 compnents so something is goig very very wrong
Please help, is there an easier way to do this? I am compositing in Premiere pro and adding text but when I export as FLV it is looking fuzzy- and also the text becomes interactive at a later stage so it would be much better if it could happen in Flash.
PLease please help
Cheers

The topic of audio / video syncing is often mentioned in the Forum. The usual suspect is the audio...." but it gets out of whack".
That is a fundamental mis-understanding.. it's NOT the audio that gets out of whack... it's the video!
You can embed video with (streaming type) sound into the main timeline and get very good syncing results provided you understand and build on the fact that the vdeo must match up and sync with the audio, NOT the other way around.
For your review (from an earlier post):
Also remember that it's the animation that gets out of sync, not the audio.
The reason I say that is because the audio MUST play at one and only one frequency... or in other words, the audio will have an exact length of time that it takes to play the sound. If you shorten that time in an attempt to match the animation, that's sort of like pushing the sound together, that increases the frequency and raises the pitch... making it sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks.
On the other hand, if you streeeeetch out the sound over a longer period of time, decreasing the frequency, you looowweer the pitch.
So knowing that sound must play back at only one rate (or frequency), you'll need to match the animation to the playback speed (frequency) of the audio, not the other way around.
While it's often recommeded that you not embed video into the main timeline because of this same audio/video syncing problem ("audio gets out of sync"), I've had no problems with syncing the audio and video as long as I set the Flash doc frame rate to exactly match the original video Frame rate (29.97 frames per sec for mini-DV).
Here's an example of a video embedded directly into the timeline, yet the audio stays in sync.
http://www.cidigitalmedia.com/tutorials/vid_sync/vid_sync.html
Now I realize you may not be using video, but the principle is the same. Match the animation to the audio, not the other way around.
This may mean that you need to play with the document frame rate to find the sweet spot where the audio and animation stay in sync. Test your .swf with higher and lower frame rates to see the effect. It may take some experimentaion but you should be able to greatly improve the sync.
So in your case, if the video origianlly had audio with it (as many videos do), the frames per second of the Flash document must match exactly that of the original video or the video will either get ahead of the audio or fall behind the audio. Again, it's the video that is out of sync, NOT the audio.
Best wishes,

How to play a cue point with mixer

I know how to play a cue point of sound with the method:
sound(1).queue([#member: ... #startTime: ... EndTime: ... ])
How can I transfer the method of cue point using the mixer?
I need to have any hint about this because I must use both cue
point with playrate, at my begginer level of knowledge I know that:
1) I can't use "playrate" with "sound(1).play()" method.
With this method I can use cue point;
2) I'm trying to know If I can use cue point with mixer method.
With this method I can use "playrate" .
It is also for me important to know if it is possible or
impossible to solve this problem in director.
Thanks.

iPhone 3gs, 4 or 4s?
With the former two, just drag the videos to the desktop iTunes and sycnhronize to your iPad. They will be synched to the stock Videos.
With the latter, you can either resize the video to 720p (or less) OR use a third-party app (It's Playing, AVPlayerHD, GoodPlayer being the best choices) to play it back. I'd go with the latter to avoid quality degradation and long-lasting reencodings.

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.

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.

Link to a cue point in flv

Hi everyone, I imported a video into flash and set three
navigation cue points. Is it possible to linke to these cuepoints
using buttons on my stage?

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?

Add cue points to FLV without recompressing

Hello All,
I'm using the standalone cs4 AME and I'm wondering if there is a way to add cue points to an existing FLV file and save it without recompressing. Seems like I must be missing something simple.
Thanks,
Rick

Thanks Jim,
I'll have to check the Flash workflow.
I know in AME I can keep the same size and frame rate, so I figured somehow I could eliminate further compression.
Moyea has a product that does this:
"The program does not re-encode the files for output, making it using the original source file without compression. Since there is no conversion from the source file to the output file, you can create Flash videos with original quality."
Just looking to use a simple tool I already own...

Worked out cue points now flV won't reset

Hi all,
I worked out how to put in and use cuepoints in my FLV video- I am baking them in with premiere. I am using them to trigger events, but now I have wierd behaviour that when I stop and play the video it does not restart from the beginning..
So I even went back in and put a nav cue point right at the start and put in a skip to cue command but now there is a second or so where it starts playing from where it left off and then goes back to the beginning..
How can I get it to start from the beginning every time it plays?
I really appreciate any help here, I have spent a day trying everything I can think of... looks like it is going to be a long night..
I have tried using the .source command and haveing the film picked from the prefs.. no difference..
I guess my next attempt will be to have a little balnd film and try to load that up in between..
but there has got to be an easier way..
when there were no cuepoints the .stop and .play commands would automatically make it start from the beginning.. I am hoping that this is something simple I am missing
Cheers

Ok so my workaround of having a blank film and using .source to load it up between playing the real film is working, but it seems a pretty silly solution.
If anyone know how to do it properly I would like to know.
cheers

How do I create a point to a list of devices?

I have a .dll code with a function to control the Analyzer from AX/4000, as follow bellow:
void anaRun(UINT8 run, UINT8 *devList, UINT8 numDev)
How do I create in Labview the list of devices and how do I specify the number of devices?
Thank you.

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:

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]);

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

How to trigger embedded cue points

Hi all
I need to trigger embedded cue points. I have navigation cue
points, and I want the video to pause when it reaches the end of a
section. I also have an event cue point where I want to import
graphics. Im new to actionscript and dont know what code to write
to implement this. Ive looked at many, many websites but to no
avail, I just dont know where to start. any info or tutorials would
be very much appreciated as im working against a deadline.
thanks!

Hi,
you would need the ADF Faces context to PPR an area on a screen, the FacesContext doesn't help. Also, PPR is a feature of ADF Faces and not the external context in JSF. I would try to issue PPR through JavaScript using the AdfPage object
http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/apirefs.1111/e12046/oracle/adf/view/js/base/AdfPage.html
What I would try is
- define an af:serverListener on af:document
- look the af:document up using JavaScript
- invoke a managed bean through serverListener
- have this bean issuing the PPR
See: http://download.oracle.com/docs/cd/E15523_01/web.1111/b31973/af_event.htm#DAFBJGAH
Note that you don't need the clientListener since you invoke the server listener from extern (your SVG)

How would I create "bullet point" titles in Premiere CS6, without creating individual titles?

What I mean by "bullet points" is how they did the titles in this video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=NHGAEqeXTeY
I know you could do it by creating a different title for each line and then manipulating them on the time line but seems like there should be an easier way to do that. Could someone help me out please? Thanks.

It might be possible to achieve that effect without creating individual titles, however creating a stack of titles is the easiest and most strait forward way.
Create a finished screen 1st, with all the elements that will appear by the end of a title sequence. Click the "new title based on current title" button to create a copy, then delete the last title element on the page, then repeat until you are just left with the 1st element that you want to appear on screen.
Overlay them on your timeline in reverse order of creation, and you have your effect.
That should be the easiest way.
Good luck.

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?

Cue points in dynamically loaded flv file through netstream

How can i add cue points to a playlist of flv files which are
loaded dynamically through an xml files. All the sources i have
found over the internet are using flvplayback control :(

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

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.
