FLV Cuepoint question

[juststeve]

Given the potential utility of cupoints in general the supplied documentation seems umm....lite.

To import cuepoint information from an XML file structured as:

<listitem title="Introduction" name="unit1_320_20.flv" start="0" len="-1" thumb="chap1.jpg">
<qPoint qName="q1_1" qTime=":44" qText="Caption to show first."/>
<qPoint qName="q1_2" qTime="1:15" qText="This text shows up at 1:15 et."/>
<qPoint qName="q1_3" qTime="1:45" qText="This played last"/>
</listtime>

Cuepoints can be created by:
var xmlPlaylist = new XML(); //setup a variable to hold the XML
xmlPlaylist.ignoreWhite = true;
xmlPlaylist.load( "playlist.xml" ); //load the XML file

xmlPlaylist.onLoad = function( status ) {
//trace("loading xml");
if ( !status )
trace( status );
var entries = this.childNodes[0];
for ( var i = 0; i < entries.childNodes.length; i++ ) {
var entry = entries.childNodes[i];

for ( var q = 0; q < entry.childNodes.length; q++ ) {

//trace ("entry.childNodes[q] = " + entry.childNodes[q].attributes.qName);
MakeCue( entry.childNodes[q].attributes.qTime, entry.childNodes[q].attributes.qName, entry.childNodes[q].attributes.qText);
}
var entry = entries.childNodes[i];

} //end xmlPlaylist.onload

function MakeCue(myTime:Number, myName:String, myParam:Object){
if (myTime <> undefined) {

//trace("myTime = " + myTime + "myName" + myName + "myParam = " + myParam);
my_FLVPlybk.addASCuePoint(1, myName, myParam);
}
}

Except that documentation does not provide an example usage of the parameter nor an example of converting conventional time notation (hh:mm:ss:ms) into Number. Imagine the ass we could kick if it did!


I'd very much appreciate any direction in these documentary holes by anyone able to address.

thx,

I've made some amount of progress. I'm now able to handle the parameter
with:
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();

listenerObject.cuePoint = function(eventObject:Object):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);
trace("Cue point parameters are: " + eventObject.info.parameters); for (var x in eventObject.info) { trace ("x=" + x + " in " + eventObject.info[x]);

}
synchText_txt.text = eventObject.info.parameters; } myVideoHolder.myVideo.addEventListener("cuePoint", listenerObject);


function MakeCue(myTime:String, myName:String, myParam:Object){
//trace("Making Cue");
var myCTime:Number;

if (myTime <> undefined) {
var convert2Seconds = myTime.split(":");
//todo - add detection/support for hours
if (convert2Seconds[0] == ""){
myCTime = Number(convert2Seconds[1]);
} else {
myCTime = (Number(convert2Seconds[0] * 60)) + Number(convert2Seconds[1]);
}
}
trace("myTime = "+ myCTime );
my_FLVPlybk.addASCuePoint(myCTime, myName, myParam);
}
