Video Cue Point problem

Question

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?

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
Here's a link to a useful pdf about the VideoPlayer object.
