Duration to trigger events

flash actionscript:
I'm creating a presentation that loads in streaming mp3's for the voice over. I
want to be sure that my animations are perfectly insync so I thought it would
be a good idea to trigger events upon certain sound durations. For example,
once a voice-over (mp3) reaches a certain duration (number of seconds) it would
automatically trigger an animation to start...probably by loading in a movie
clip that contains the animation or perhaps it will simply jump to a "frame
labe" on the timeline.

Does anyone know the code for this...or if it is possible? Thank you in
advance!!

Are you using Flash Pro 04? If so this is done very easily via cuepoints that
you can assign to your streaming media via the component inspector for the
Media components.

The components listens for your timed cuepoints and then navigates to named
frames. You keep your animations on those named frames.

The help files under Component Dictionary>Media components have info on how to
set it all up.

Yes- I'm using Flash 04 pro. Thanks for the tip- I'll check it out! Do you
think this will limit me to using one of the Macromedia components to control
the movie? I already have a 3rd party movie controller component that I'm using
and customizing. Thanks!
