flash actionscript: Hi,
I was hoping that someone could help me out with this. I have a SWF that
plays a FLV with actionscript cue points that when the cue point is reached the
timeline plays. I need the cue points variables (the timecode) to be loaded
from a text file because non Flash users will be adding content. The problem
is that I can get it to work with putting the variables in the actionScript.
But if I load the variables from the text file the playhead will not play with
the cue point is reached. Below is the code that I am using.

Thanks in advance.

loadtextContent = new LoadVars();
// Load the text file into my movie
loadtextContent.load("cuePointList.txt");
loadtextContent.onLoad = function(success) {
if (success) {
cuePoint0 = this.cue1;
cuePoint1 = this.cue2;
cuePoint2 = this.cue3;
cuePoint3 = this.cue4;
cuePoint4 = this.cue5;

// Create cuePoint object.
var cuePt:Object = new Object();
cuePt.time = 0;
cuePt.name = "elapsed_time";
cuePt.type = "actionscript";
// Add AS cue point.
//myVideoPlayback.addASCuePoint(cuePt);

// Add Cue Points.
myVideoPlayback.addASCuePoint(cuePoint0, "elapsed_time0");
myVideoPlayback.addASCuePoint(cuePoint1, "elapsed_time1");
myVideoPlayback.addASCuePoint(cuePoint2, "elapsed_time2");
myVideoPlayback.addASCuePoint(cuePoint3, "elapsed_time3");
myVideoPlayback.addASCuePoint(cuePoint4, "elapsed_time4");
myVideoPlayback.addASCuePoint(cuePoint5, "elapsed_time5");

}}

// Display cue point information in text field.
var listenerObject:Object = new Object();
listenerObject.cuePoint = function(eventObject) {
play();
};
myVideoPlayback.addEventListener("cuePoint",listenerObject);

While loading the values from the text, instead of this, use the loadVars
instance name. I believe "this" will point "outside" your loadVars instance.

if (success) {
cuePoint0 = loadtextContent.cue1;
cuePoint1 = loadtextContent.cue2;
cuePoint2 = loadtextContent.cue3;
cuePoint3 = loadtextContent.cue4;
cuePoint4 = loadtextContent.cue5;
}

I always used loadVars this way and everything goes fine...
