The overall accuracy depends what one is DOING with the timing points, and the available time scaling underneath. If you are jumping to them, then setting the movieTime vs. using a cuePointTime to set the currentTime should be roughly the same. As for responding to a particular time going by ... isPassedCuePoint() was never intended for precision. - it's a crude boolean that says you are passed a point. Since you do the polling, you set the accuracy (& pay a the potential performance impact for high accuracy = frequent polling) Polling the movieTime & responding should be similar. Using an 'on cuePassed' handler is the best way to respond to cue points. It fires as the cues occur, and doesn't require polling. hth -Buzz > > >-A. > > >>Greets to all >> >>It's looking likely that a number of projects I'm >>working on are going to be requiring stage events to >>sync with or be triggered by digital video.
