I’m trying to trigger some events (fading of nearby movieclips) based on cue points of a currently playing FLV. I’m using the FLVPlayback component (not Netstream) and have added cue points from inside flash (so they’re “Actionscript” type). However, I can’t find the correct syntax for how to reference these points for the life of me. Every example I’ve found online has to do with Netstream, not hte FLVPlayback component.

I tried copying, pasting, and referencing code from:

I actually found a nice article here: [http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=124DB](http://www.communitymx.com/content/article.cfm?cid=124DB)

… but it’s AS2.

To put it simply, let’s say I have the following:

1. FLVPlayback component which has a parameter called “movie.flv” for the clip that it’s supposed to play.
2. The instance of the component is called “movie\_inst”.
3. There are 2 cue points added through the component’s parameters rollout, one called “point1”, another called “point2”.

What’s the simplest code to tell flash “when you get to point1 I want you to do \_\_\_”?
