Set cue point problem

In csc5.5, with flvplayback select onthe stage,
I can't switch cue point between "navigation", "event" "ationscript",
the only cue that I can insert is "actionscript", why?
I need to set to "navigation".
Can you help me?
Thank you.

We have the following three situations 1, 2 3.
In a help there was the possibility of chenge cue pointi through the properties panel (maybe image 2 below), perhaps no longer available in last versions (3 below). Is this right?
Or is it still possible to change through the panel?

Streaming .flv cue point problem

I’ve been working with Flash video with synced slide
presentations since February, which have been exclusively download
streaming, all based on the presentation available at the adobe web
site:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/vidtemplate_corppreso.html
My issue has come up when using this template with streaming
flv’s, the buttons that I use to reference the cue points in
the video and slides on the timeline do not work reliably;
sometimes they will shuttle the video and slides to the correct
point, usually they move the slides on timeline to the appropriate
spot and the video jumps back to the beginning. Besides this
sizable problem, the presentation plays the way it is supposed to.
Is there a setting in the component inspector that I’m
missing? Should I re-encode the video with Navigation cue points?
Any help would be appreciated.

Simple Flash Video Cue Point Problem (I assume)

Hello everyone. Quick question. After I have added a cue
point to an end of a video, how can I have the cue point trigger an
action such as "gotoAndPlay" or "fscommand("quit");" etc.?
I thought this would be an easy thing to find by checking on
the various websties for other posts or tutorials but nothing I
found addressed this. Any info will be most appreciated.
Thanks.

You don't even need a cuepoint to do this.
Using the FLVComponent or the VideoPlayer object, use the
"complete" event to execute code. You set up an event listener
object to listen to the video object (using
videoobject.addEventListener(listenerObject) ), and create a
function for the listener object to do when the "complete" event
occurs (such as listenerObject.complete = function() { do whatever

Video Cue Point problem

I have an FLV loaded into a video player component. The FLV
has embedded cue points, from Flash video encoder:
<mx:VideoDisplay id="vidScreen"
cuePoint="cpHandler(event)" />
And the handler:
private function cpHandler(event:CuePointEvent):void {
Alert.show(event.cuePointName);
It works, since the Alert boxes open on cue and show the name
of the cue point. However, if I try to get the array of cue points
with something like trace(vidScreen.cuePoints) I get null. I need
to get the array, since I want to do something on each of the items
in the array of cue points. What am I missing here?

Using external XML to add and set parameters for AS cue points.

Hi there. I am trying to use external xml to set cue point
times (for video), titles, and other parameters. I have everything
set up, except getting the proper data from the xml file to set the
parameters for my cue points. I am researching hard and learning
quickly - at this point, I need help. Thanks!

Anyone?
Still working on this if anyone has advice. Still haven't
been able to figure out how to put xml data in the right place:
addASCuePoint(//data from xml here to set name and time of
cue point - HOW??//);
Thanks!

Quicktime Cue points

Hi all,
I need to use cuepoints on a quicktime video and I'm having
problems implementing them. I have tried two ways
- The first way was Inserting cuepoints as text layer in
quicktime pro. I have inserted the cuepoints into the video file
and they are working fine in quicktime but when I import the video
into director it tells me I need to enable the preload function on
the qt video. I have read a number of tutorials that tell me to do
this in the movie info pop up. However the 'show movie info' in my
versoin of quicktime (Pro ver. 7.1.6) is an info window with no
clickable or editable options so I can't perform this task.
- The second option that I explored is Mpeg Advance
link
This xtra seems to install properly and it appears in the
options and functions to a certain extent... the problewm with it
is that when it imports a video all I get is a blank screen
(instead of the actual footage) - the same footage imported as a
regular qt movie displays correctly.
Really running out of ideas here. Any suggestions greatly
appreciated.

I've set cue points for videos based on specific times
before. First I
create a text member with a list of cue point times, then I
have a frame
script like this which creates a list of those cue points:
global TimeChange, i
on exitFrame me
-- Set up a clean list to store time changes in based on cue
points --
TimeChange = []
-- Fill the Time Change List with values --
repeat with i = 1 to
member("VideoMarkerList").text.word.count
add TimeChange, ((the ticks) +
(float(member("VideoMarkerList").text.word
)*60))
put float(member("VideoMarkerList").text.word)
end repeat
-- Set the starting cuepoint for the "TimeCheck" behavior to
look at
set i = 1
end
Then on any frame I want to wait for a cue point on, I have
this script:
on exitFrame me
global TimeChange, i
if (the ticks)<TimeChange
then
go to the frame
else
if i < TimeChange.count then
i = i + 1
end if
go to the frame + 1
end if
end
Hope that helps,
Matt

Problem: Creating groups out of a set of points in 2D space based on their relative proximity

Hi,
I'm new to LabVIEW and I've tried doing this several times, but I just can't solve it.
Problem:
I've got a set of points in the 2D space(x,y), and I want to calculate the mean of the sets of closely spaced points.
Example:
Consider 5 points, A(1,2); B(2,3); C(100,200); D(120,220); E(110,210); F(500,600)
I'm trying to get the output a set of points
P[ (1+2)/2 , (2+3)/2 ]
Q[ (100+120+110)/3, (200+210+220)/3 ]
S[ 500, 600 ]
Where the outputs are the means of the points taken in sets which are composed of "closely" paced points(within a limit).
I.e.., (A,B) are close; (C,D,E) are close, while E is separated from the rest, within a small limit(say 30).
This has been causing a lot of problems for me recently and I have to solve it. Image included.
Any suggestions/ideas are most welcome.
Thanks in advance.
Solved!

Hi,
"Data clustering" is exactly what I was looking for, and I checked the link. Very informative. Thanks on that.
I didn't post my code intentionally because it's very cluttered and inefficient.(I've just started using Labview).
But my Algorithm is simple and trivial.
1. Take any one point and compare it with every other point within a limit(say L).
2. If comparable, then add an entry into a 2D array, if non-existent else just ignore(points have already been accounted for).
(The 2Darray has each column representing a collection of comparable points,i.e. 1 group and N such columns for N point in all)
3. Repeat steps 1 and 2 for the remaining points.
4. Finally, construct a 1D array, with each element representing the mean point based on values taken per column from the 2D array.
Also, this Algorithm works fine for my application(less than 30 points), so I haven't tested it for a large number of points.
I bet It'll be highly inefficient, considering the more widely use clustering algorithms out there.
However, if you know of any VI's or simple algorithms for such(small data set), it would be highly beneficial to me.

Problem with cue point from After Effects to Flash (CS5.5)

Hello,
anyone has, or has not problems reading, in Falsh, cue points included with After Effects? (Navigartion cue points).
It is possible export from Flash movie in .flv format? (Both versione CS5.5).
Thank you.

No I don't believe it's the footage, as I've been able to transfer the same files on my school computer and use it with ease.It's just any type of footage, if I attempt to drag any of my imported files (whether they're images of any kind or .mp4, .mov, .wav, .mp3) just as I would click and hold the file, my cursor turns into the Mac loading ball. Perhaps is there something these programs require such as Java? I'm not sure if it's related, but I've also not been able to play some games via Steam that I have been able to play in the past with the same system.

Problems Using Cue points to Loop Video

Ok, so I want to use cue points to navigate through video. I want to start by simply looping the video from the end back to the beginning. I keep getting an invalid seek error 1003. Here is my code. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks
import fl.video.MetadataEvent;
Movie.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT, loopFunction);
function loopFunction(e:MetadataEvent):void
    if (e.info.name == "end1")
        Movie.seekToNavCuePoint("beginning1");
        Movie.play();

At least you are getting notified even if the seek doesn't work.
A brief workaround could be to iterate over the cue points you detect in metadata, assigning each cue point name and time in an object. Once you hit the cue point you desire, see if the object has the time value and seek() to the time for that cue point rather than seeking for it by name.
e.g. (written briefly, you get the idea):
// object to hold time values
var cuePointArr:Object = new Object();
function onMetaData(infoObject:Object):void
    var cueIndex:String;
    for (cueIndex in infoObject.cuePoints)
        trace("Adding cue name[" + infoObject.cuePoints[cueIndex].name + "] at time[" + infoObject.cuePoints[cueIndex].time + "]");
                    // store as name = time
                    cuePointArr[infoObject.cuePoints[cueIndex].name] = infoObject.cuePoints[cueIndex].time;
function loopFunction(e:MetadataEvent):void
          // correct cue point and has a value in cuePointArr?
    if ((e.info.name == "end1")&&(curPointArr[e.info.name] != null))
                    // seek to time value
        Movie.seek(Number(cuePointArr[e.info.name]));
        Movie.play();
Moving 900mph here so forgive any typos but turning it into a normal seek based on the time value should work for now.

Premiere CS3: How can you encode xml cue point data in the chapter section of a marker for FlashVid?

Hi there,
I'm a total newb to this forum, so hello adobe premiere community! I'm perplexed by Adobes documentation on Premiere (and I'm sure I'm not the first ) anyway on the live documents page below:
http://livedocs.adobe.com/en_US/PremierePro/3.0/help.html?content=WS9390BED7-9466-46ea-A0E A-3240F1AFC36C.html
it states that:
“The cue point data in the Chapter field of a sequence marker in Adobe Premiere Pro will be encoded as Flash XML. For the XML protocol required, see Flash Help.”
Which is great…except this information doesn’t exist seemingly in either the Premiere documentation or Flash either for that matter, but as I’m interested in working with the chapter/marker area in Premiere – should I really be told to go off and search the documentation for another application, probably not! What would have been useful would have been a code snippet saying you do it like this, but of course, that would make things too easy!
Basically, I understand that in After FX you can add Flash marker information specifically for interpretation when exporting to Flash Video (i.e. name, type and parameters etc) and it suggests that you can do the same above in Premiere CS3 using some kind of concatenated string in the chapter area…it just doesn’t tell you how anywhere seemingly – WHY ADOBE!
Currently when I export markers as cue points based on the advice in the page above, anything I put in the chapter section to force Premiere to create a cue point is converted to a string, which becomes the cue point ‘name’.
This cue point name is then automatically appended to the ‘time’ the marker was inserted at and is always encoded as type ‘navigation’, with no obvious means of adding ‘parameters’ into the equation.
So (finally) does anyone know if you can insert this information into the chapter area for correct interpretation by flash (i.e. thus allowing you to choose between either 'navigation' or 'event' types, and pass as many 'parameters' as you wish etc) or are you just limited to supplying a name, and it being automatically set to the navigation type with no parameters?
I’m sorry for this long essay but at least the issue is well defined for you to answer, honestly any help you can provide what so ever would really be most appreciated!
Best regards,
Kat
PS – I have utterly no knowledge of XML either just in case you were wondering – and my only interest in XML is getting this basic information encoded into the FLV file from Premiere Pro CS3! Please help, pretty please with daisy’s!!!

Hi dradeke,
Thanks for your reply, which is indeed useful as clearly Adobe have made this task easier and less obscure in CS4 by adding simple interface functionality, however I'm stuck with using CS3 for the moment. Its not majorly a problem as the video material in question can be exported uncompressed then setup with cue points using the Flash encoder as an alternative (i.e. or even After FX CS3 also) which both provide the same features as Premiere CS4 seemingly. It is just that it would be much easier to be able to drop in simple markers whilst working with Premiere CS3, as this is what we are going to be using primarily, I just wondered if anyone knew how to invoke this in CS3 - its possible you can't, the documentation is vague at best!
However I really appreciate your response and help, thanks

Using cue points to trigger events on the main timeline...

Hi--
I have successfully placed an flv (video) file (progressive
download) on the main timeline of my movie with controls to play
and pause (Flash 8 Professional). So far, so good!
NOW TWO PROBLEMS: Does anyone know how to set it up so that
when a specific cue point is reached in the video, it triggers an
action on the main timeline? In this case, once the video is over,
I want the main timeline to gotoAndPlay frame 3. Specific script to
do this would be great!
The other action I'd like to happen is that when the video
begins, it targets a scrolling text mc ("text") in the main
timeline and tells it to gotoAndPlay frame 2.
Any advice would be GREATLY appreciated!!! Many
thanks!!!

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?

Using cue points to acrivate movie clips

I'm trying to write a simple piece of ActionScript that I can
adapt and re-use easily. (I'm not very good at programming and I've
been finding the "help" information very confusing.) I've devised
quite an elegant solution, if only I could get it to work!.
I'm using a single frame loop with an onEnterFrame
construction that deletes itself when the flv has finished playing.
I've set up a movie clip with various start points for animations
to be activated at cue points. I'm testing for the cue points in
the same frame, storing previous cue point names so that each cue
point triggers the corresponding animation once only. I know the
main logic works because I've tested it with trace statements to
prove that the cue points are actually being reached. The problem
is that the goToAndPlay instructions don't seem to activate the
movie clip as intended.
My best guess is that the stop action on the self-looping
frame is also stopping the movie clip as soon as it starts. Even if
that is true, I don't know how to solve the problem. And I'm sure
one of you much more clever people will know better. Here's the
code. Any suggestions?

You can build out a menu by reading the cuePoints array in
the NetStream.onMetadata handler, or by using the MetadataEvent
with the FLVPlayback component (AS3). The simple thing for me to
say is to refer to Chapter 9 of my new Flash Video book. :) (see

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">
      <xmpDM:markers>
       <rdf:Seq>
        <rdf:li
         xmpDM:startTime="9323149248000"
         xmpDM:name="q1in"
         xmpDM:type="FLVCuePoint"
         xmpDM:cuePointType="Navigation"/>
Excerpt from the new FLV (AME CS6):
     <rdf:li>
      <rdf:Description
       xmpDM:trackName="FLVCuePoint"
       xmpDM:trackType="FLVCuePoint"
       xmpDM:frameRate="f15">
      <xmpDM:markers>
       <rdf:Seq>
        <rdf:li>
         <rdf:Description
          xmpDM:startTime="550"
          xmpDM:name="q1in"
          xmpDM:cuePointType="Navigation">
         <xmpDM:cuePointParams>
          <rdf:Seq>
           <rdf:li
            xmpDM:key="marker_guid"
            xmpDM:value="2c2c8be0-75af-47d6-8938-4a365e33a550"/>
          </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(õÂ\ 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
8       name   q5in time @w¢Ù ‡+   type   event
9       name   q5out time @zw×
=p¤ type   event
10       name   end time @€ð bMÒò type   event
Any idea why AME is doing this?
