When souce video from server starts playing, I will have to start recording users' vocal with another netstream. Source video is just displaying lyrics to users. Currently, there is no checking code for if the souce video really starts playing, so I will have audio/video un-sync problem, especially when they have buffering time. So, I am thinking to put embeded cue-points in source flv videos at the very first frame, and wait for that cue-point event, and when that event occurs, just start recording. Also, put ending cue-point at the end of source flvs and check that end event and stop recording. Do you think that would be good solution for video-audio sync problem? Also, let me know how to differentiate those two cue-points in my onCuePoint event handler. Thanks in advance. Kevin Hi peterd,

Laurent,

I’ve never tried loading YouTube videos into Flex/Flash personally, but try giving these two blog posts by Abdul Qabiz a read:
“Constructing YouTube FLV URL on client-side without any server-side script” and “YouTube changes crossdomain.xml ?”

Good luck, and happy Flexing!

I'm trying to use it with this URL : source="http://cache.googlevideo.com/get_video?video_id=SFf6n8QwOJ8" What is wrong with my comprehension ? Thinks by advance, Laurent Hello,

Update: Check out <a href="http://blog.flexexamples.com/2007/08/09/dynamically-creating-actionscript-cue-points-from-flashvars-received-from-the-html-container/" rel="nofollow">"Dynamically creating ActionScript cue points from FlashVars received from the HTML container"</a> for one solution. Basically you just define the "FlashVars" parameter in your <object /> and <embed /> code, or from within your AC_FL_RunContent() JavaScript function in your HTML template, and pass something like the following: <code><b style="color:red;">"FlashVars", "cuepoints=one:1;two:2;three:3"</b></code> This will create three cue points in your Flex application: <ul><li>Cue point name "one" at 1.0 seconds</li><li>Cue point name "two" at 2.0 seconds</li><li>Cue point name "three" at 3.0 seconds</li></ul> Of course, you'll need a bit more code in your Flex application, so check out the post for the full details. Happy Flexing! Florian,

You want to set one cue point, or multiple cue points?

Update: Check out “Dynamically creating ActionScript cue points from FlashVars received from the HTML container” for one solution. Basically you just define the “FlashVars” parameter in your <object /> and <embed /> code, or from within your AC_FL_RunContent() JavaScript function in your HTML template, and pass something like the following:

"FlashVars", "cuepoints=one:1;two:2;three:3"

This will create three cue points in your Flex application:

  • Cue point name “one” at 1.0 seconds
  • Cue point name “two” at 2.0 seconds
  • Cue point name “three” at 3.0 seconds

Of course, you’ll need a bit more code in your Flex application, so check out the post for the full details.

Happy Flexing!

Another Question: I want to cuePoint TIME and NAME set by flashvars...so that you can set them dynamically... cheers, Flo Okay, I should use that too.

I didn't bother to check if a specific cue point already existed before pushing it on to the embeddedCuePoints ArrayCollection. Yeah, it would be a bug in my sloppy code.

If you click on an embedded cue point, another cuePoint is added to the grid. Is that correct? I tryed your solution today, and I maybe found a bug.
