Re: [Flashcoders] web video
you can embed cuepoints in the flv and listen for them to cue events. Most
reliable way to embed them is via the Adobe Media Encoder
one way to access them is like:
import fl.video.VideoEvent;
import fl.video.MetadatEvent;
myVid.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT, doThis);
function doThis(e:Event):void{
}

Hi coders I know that I can control a flv from as3, but there is a
way to do the opposite?
I mean I have a video (flv) in one movie clip, when the video reaches
the second 45, can I trigger an event?
is that possible?, if so there is a tutorial pointing to that in the
internet?

[Flashcoders] sound stick around issue
Hello all, I have an issue which will probably be a softball for you guys... Basically I have a gallery-type nav; when you click on an item, an external swf is loaded into a container_mc. The container_mc lives in the main timeline and is simply used to tween the loaded swf in/out and around. I'm accessing a close button that lives in the loaded swf via: event.target.content.close_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, outroAnimationandUnloadContainer_mc); In this loaded swf is an instance of the flv playback component. The close_btn to unloads the swf fine, but the audio keeps playing. I need flv_playback.stop() but I'm confused how to access it. I can't use event.target.content.flv.stop() b/c the event is a level deeper than the event.target.content.close_btn.addEventListener used above. So - how do I make that flv shut-up when I unload it off the stage? Thank you very much. Any advice is greatly appreciated.

Re: [Flashcoders] sound stick around issue
Hey Karl, Thank you for the suggestion - you've helped me get to the bottom of this. Although stopAllSounds() is AS2, that was enough of a breadcrumb to find the AS3 equivalent: // make sure you import this class: import flash.media.SoundMixer; // triggered in the out transition SoundMixer.stopAll(); I'm sure there's a more elegant way to do this, but it works.

Re: [Flashcoders] Seek bar not working with FLVPlayback Component?
great threat, thanks for all the input -
event cue points == good times..great for triggering transitions and
such..(e.g. rendered video from AE)
myVideo_mc.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT, onCuePoint);
function onCuePoint(event:MetadataEvent):void
{
trace(Elapsed time in seconds: + flvPlayback.playheadTime);
trace(Cue point name is: + event.info.name);
trace(Cue point type is: + event.info.type);
}
if using from Flash IDE, don't forget: import fl.video.VideoEvent;
import
fl.video.MetadataEvent;
