Here’s a simple example that listens for the cuePoint event on a VideoDisplay control and updates a DataGrid control whenever the cue point is encountered.
Full code after the jump.

var eType:String = evt.type;
var cpName:String = evt.cuePointName;
var cpTime:Number = evt.cuePointTime;
var cpType:String = evt.cuePointType;
arrColl.addItem({type:eType, cuePointName:cpName, cuePointTime:cpTime, cuePointType:cpType});
}

</mx:Script>
<mx:VideoDisplay id="vid" autoPlay="true" source="{FLV_URL}" cuePoint="doCuePoint(event);" />
<mx:DataGrid id="dataGrid" dataProvider="{arrColl}" width="400" rowCount="5">

<mx:DataGridColumn id="cuePointTypeCol" dataField="cuePointType" />
</mx:columns>
</mx:DataGrid>

Sorry for the lack of formatting, I hope to clean these up in the near future and include the working examples, view-source, and all that “stuff”.
Peter,
In another post, I though I solicitation for suggestions for a Syntax Highlighter. I just stumbled upon this:
http://www.machine501.com/2007/05/29/syntax-highlight-as3/
(via http://www.tombray.com/?p=31 …. via http://weblogs.macromedia.com/mxna/ )
I find a lot of information on how to access the cuepoint name and time and type, but nothing on how to access cuepoint parameters. Does anyone know how to do that using the VideoDisplay component?
thanks.
Iver Davidson,
Hhmm, can you please file a bug/enhancement request for this at http://bugs.adobe.com/flex .
I think this should be a little easier, and the CuePointEvent should probably include a
cuePointPropertiesobject.Regardless, here’s a way you can look up the VideoDisplay control’s metadata
cuePointsproperty and compare it to the current cue point object:<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?> <mx:Application xmlns:mx="http://www.adobe.com/2006/mxml"> <mx:Script> <![CDATA[ import mx.utils.ObjectUtil; import mx.events.CuePointEvent; private function vidDisp_cuePoint(evt:CuePointEvent):void { var cuePointObj:Object = getCuePointByName(evt.cuePointName); trace(evt.cuePointName, ObjectUtil.toString(cuePointObj)); } private function getCuePointByName(value:String):Object { var obj:Object; var cuePointArr:Array = vidDisp.metadata.cuePoints; var idx:uint; var len:int = cuePointArr.length; for (idx = 0; idx < len; idx++) { if (cuePointArr[idx].name == value) { return cuePointArr[idx]; } } return null; } ]]> </mx:Script> <mx:VideoDisplay id="vidDisp" source="http://helpexamples.com/flash/video/cuepoints.flv" cuePoint="vidDisp_cuePoint(event);" /> </mx:Application>Peter
