TotalTime action for Flash Video help

Question

I'm trying to use totalTime action on MediaDisplay component
in Flash 8 to
set the duration of the external FLV video to some value: the
movie is 360
sec long, i tried to set its duration to 300 sec by applying
the action
_root.myDisplay.totalTime = 300;
The controler component adapts to the new totalTime value and
when the movie
reached 300 sec the slider stopped at the end of slider bar.
BUT, the movie
still went on plying beyond 300 sec, and the slider just
stood still at the
end point of the slider bar.
How can i REALY adjust the total playable time of the flv?
Thanks!

Fishy? I like fish! Had it for dinner last night.
When you add a cuepoint the Media Component instance fires an
event 'cuePoint' and you use the listener to respond to that event.
When the event gets fired an event object is passed to the cuePoint
event handler of the listener object. The event object contains the
name of the event and the time. The name of the cuepoint is
accessible with:
eventObj.target.name
and the time with:
eventObj.target.time
Nothing fishy about it.
