ListenerObject control timeline

Question

Hi,
I've set up a flash with FLV HTTP stream, and successfully
set up the following response to a cuepoint:
stop();
vid.contentPath = "CPI_introduces.flv";
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.cuePoint = function(eventObject:Object):Void {
play();
vid.addEventListener("cuePoint", listenerObject);
Problem is, the timeline plays to the point I want it to, and
then if the user scrolls back or plays again, the timeline is
progressed already. I need it to, upon pressing play or when using
seek slider, goto and stop frame 1 again (visually clearing the
screen until it hits the cue point again). Based on the cuePoint
script, I thought something like this would work:
stop();
vid.contentPath = "mhpp_preview_3.flv";
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.play = function(eventObject:Object) {
gotoAndStop(1);
vid.addEventListener("cuePoint",listenerObject);
But it seems to have no response. The instance name is vid ,
and the code I'm placing on the last frame, where it stops when the
timeline plays.
Any insight?

Tiaqo,
I agree that cue points are the closest synch mechanism with streaming video. Nevertheless, if objects have to be synched in a such a way that they appear as a part of the video - cue points don't work very well. I worked on a project that required seamless syncing and we had to revert to embedded video because cue points event on every video frame did not deliver desirable tightness.
With that said, if requirements for synching are looser - cue points are the way to go.
