Ok, I have an FLV that progressively downloads, on the root timeline. It’s instance name is “vid”  
at 1 second into it I want it to perform a function, and at 15 seconds I want it to perform a function. So I am using this:

```auto
_root.vid.setMedia("dive.flv", "FLV");
_root.vid.addCuePoint("divecuestart", 01);
_root.vid.addCuePoint("divecueend", 15);

divelistenstart = new Object();
divelistenstart.cuePoint = function(eventObject){
    doThisStuff(eventObject.target.name);
};
_root.vid.addEventListener("cuePoint",divelistenstart);
function doThisStuff(mediaCue){
        switch (mediaCue) {
                case "divecuestart":
                trace("start");
                break;
        case "divecueend":
                trace("end");
        };
};

```

But it doesn’t work.  
Any ideas why?
