Retrieve Metadata CuePoints out of a FLV Flash 9

[Vudrok]

Hi, I need your help since i've been reading a lot of post in this site i know the admin is a guru in flash which means is "un experto", i originally speak spanish, well what i need is how to retrieve the CuePoint values out an FLV exported from Premier CS3, i can see already the values in the Component Inspector, but i can't seem to know how to retrieve this values and use them to trigger events, like... this is something easy, each time it reach a cuePoint i want it to videoPlayer.stop(); i think that's very easy, but seems im not good at cuePoint issues, i will appriciate your help thank you.:)

Hi,
have a look to this tut:

Anyway, i think the best way is to add the cues with actionscript.
I don't know how Adobe Premier works but if you use Adobe Video Encoder you can add the cue points and create the CML file you'll load into Flash and ater that you can manage the cue points with Actionscript.

is there a way this can be done without resetting the whole cuePoints, i got like 40 cuePoints in the documentation of Premier it says those can be accesses throught actionscript using a trigger, but when i try using this code:

my_FLVPlybk.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.CUE_POI NT, cp_listener); function cp_listener(eventObject:MetadataEvent):void { trace("Elapsed time in seconds: " + my_FLVPlybk.playheadTime); trace("Cue point name is: " + eventObject.info.name); trace("Cue point type is: " + eventObject.info.type); }

i get an error: 1046 over eventObject:MetadataEvent... this is annoying i really need to figure it out cause i got 2 days with no sleep cause of this, if you could point me i will appriciate it, i know you can acomplish this coding puzzle!! thank you!

What are you using to play the video in Flash, FLVPlayBack component ?

[Vudrok]

I'm using a component I used the import video option, and with no skin, i can play it pause it, stop it, seek it, i can do pretty much with it, but can't retrieve the information within the component of the cuePoint, that information i can see it in the component inspector, otherwise i dunno how to access to it throught coding... this is becoming a big challenge...

Try this code:

my_FLVPlybk.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT,cp_listener);
my_FLVPlybk.play();
function cp_listener(eventObject:MetadataEvent):void
{
	trace("Elapsed time in seconds: " + my_FLVPlybk.playheadTime); 
	trace("Cue point name is: " + eventObject.info.name);
	trace("Cue point type is: " + eventObject.info.type);
	my_FLVPlybk.stop();
}

let me know if it traces the cue points

Okay, with the code you copy and pasted i still get an error and there is no trace, the error goes as follows

Description: 1046: Type was not found or was not a compile time constant: MetadataEvent.
Source: function cp_listener(eventObject:MetadataEvent):void ´

okay, seems "MetadataEvent" is not being recognize by the compiler, what can i do to fix this???

At the start of the script, write:
import fl.video.MetadataEvent;
