I have an FLV file which plays back using the playback component.
I have added cue points into the FLV file.
I would like to create buttons that will go to the specified cue points. So If someone clicks on a button, it takes them to that part of the video. (kind of like a dvd scene selection menu).
Is this even possible? How would I go about doing it?
Thanks!

Does anyone know how this is done? I’m desperate.
I came across this solution on the macromedia site:
“seekToCuePoint( “introduction” );”
But I don’t think thats right? Shouldn’t I have a tell target or something?
Thanks!

Thanks Claudio!
That seems to work.
However, I have another issue. It only appears to work with the Media Playback component. I’m using the FLV Playback Component (Flash 8) with a custom skin, and I can’t get it to work.
Is there another way I can accomplish this? Worst case, I guess I’ll have to use the old media player component.
Thanks again!

Well, i have never tried the FLV Playback component, but i have just read the methods available and there is a seekToNavCuePoint method there 😉

So basically, I need something like this:
on (click) {
this.\_parent.myMediaControl1.seekToNavCuePoint(“cue1”); }
I know basic scripting, but this is going over my head… It gives me the error message “Invalid seek”.

Then maybe cue1 is not a cue point. Check that.

Thanks Claudio!
It was definitely a cue point. However, I went back into Flash Video Encoder, and started playing around. I created one cue point with the type “Navigation”. and then used that video in my project. When I clicked the button. It went to that cue point.
The script I used was:
on (click) {
this.\_parent.myMediaControl1.seekToNavCuePoint(“cue1”);
}
Thanks again for your help!
