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).

  • 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."

  • 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.

  • 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,

    The following AS2 code may help you

  • 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

  • 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);

  • 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???

  • Is it possible to add quiz points from a variable?

    Hello everyone!
    I've got an activity coded in Flash CS5 in AS3 that returns a certain score. I would like to take that score and use it as the total Score for my Captivate 5 project.
    I'm also having problems when accessing the variables cpQuizInfoTotalProjectPoints and cpQuizInfoPointsscored (they're returning a 0 value no matter what), but I don't even know if I'm going the right way like that.
    Can anyone please help me with this?

    You are correct that the cpQuizInfoTotalProjectPoints and cpQuizInfoPointsscored are effectively READ-ONLY variables.  You cannot change them via Advanced Actions in Captivate.  They might however be modifiable via an AS3 widget.  You can embed AS3 code in the widget that will execute when the Captivate SWF is running to perform all kinds of tasks.  They're very powerful, but creating them requires you to know how to program in ActionScript 3.  Even if you were already an AS3 programmer, you'd also still need to know quite a bit about the inner workings of Captivate to understand its internal structure and find out how to access the variables in a way that didn't break something else.
    For information on how to program Captivate widgets, the best information is found on the Widget King blog:  http://www.infosemantics.com.au/widgetking/
    It has blog posts about creating question widgets. Please note that the information here is largely targeted at people with existing AS3 skills wishing to transfer them to Captivate.  It's fairly complex.
    As far as adding JavaScript functions to Captivate content:  You would need to modify the HTM templates that Captivate uses when it publishes out to web content.  The HTM pages have quite a bit of JavaScript already (to handle the possibility of using a right mouse click) but if you turn on SCORM quiz reporting, Cp uses totally different templates that have all the JavaScript code to hook the lesson into the SCORM API to communicate with the LMS.  If you already know how to write JavaScript code, most of this will be understandable.  If you don't already know JavaScript, don't wade in and start changing anything. You're more likely to break something.
    The long and the short of it remains:  Doing the kind of sophisticated scoring modifications you are talking about will require that you (or someone you know) has programming ability.

  • 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.

    Could you help me?
    Thanks.

    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?

  • 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">

    Excerpt from the new FLV (AME CS6):

          <rdf:Description
           xmpDM:trackName="FLVCuePoint"

              </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 
      6       name   q4in  time @s G® zá  type   event 
      7       name   q4out  time @vNÄ›¥ãT  type   event

      9       name   q5out  time @zw×
    =p¤  type   event

    Any idea why AME is doing this?

  • 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.

  • 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.

  • [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... :)

    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.

  • 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,
