Fwiw, you can set Actionscript cue points that trigger when your flv reaches a frame. That wouldn't increase flv file size. This works irrespective of keyframes in the video file. However it has less accuracy (+/- 500ms apparently) than a metadata cue point and associated keyframe.
var cue1:Object = new Object(); cue.time = 8.5; // seconds cue.name = "THIS_IS_MY_CUE_POINT"; cue.type = CuePointType.ACTIONSCRIPT; myFlvPlaybackInstance.addASCuePoint(cue); myFlvPlaybackInstance.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT, handleCuePoint); BH. -----Original Message----- From: flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com [mailto:flashcoders-boun...@chattyfig.figleaf.com] On Behalf Of Peter B Sent: Friday, 31 July 2009 1:29 p.m. To: Flash Coders List Subject: Re: [Flashcoders] Seek bar not working with FLVPlayback Component? You can't. Setting cue points for time based navigation inserts a key frame. You can only seek to key frames. It's all covered in that article, specifically: "Specify the type of cue point you want to embed. You can embed either a navigation or event cue point. * Event cue points are used to trigger ActionScript methods when the cue point is reached, and let you synchronize the video playback to other events within the Flash presentation. * Navigation cue points are used for navigation and seeking, and to trigger ActionScript methods when the cue point is reached. Embedding a navigation cue point inserts a keyframe at that point in the video clip to enable viewers to seek to that point in the video. Note: Adding additional keyframes can lower the overall quality of a video clip. For this reason, navigation cue points should only be used when users will need to seek to a particular point within the video." _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
