[flexcoders] What exactly is an "illegal cue point", how do I fix?
I'm getting an error that says: "illegal cue point: Time must be number and/or name must not be undefined or null". Here is the line that sets the cue points. pubVideo.cuePointManager.setCuePoints(actionVideo[0]) I've checked the actionVideo array and all entries have a valid time and name. However, there are some times that are the same. I thought they might be the problem so I add .1 to the time so there are no duplicates and it still gives the same error. This error occurs in: getCuePointIndex(cuePointArray:Array, closeIsOK:Boolean,time:Number, name:String,start:Number, len:Number):Number And here the time is NaN and name is null. Are there any rules about setting cue points that I should know about that might give this error? Many thanks!
[flexcoders] How do I connect to a live h.264 stream?
I'm streaming with the Flash Media Encoder and want to test the h.264 stream but I don't know how to set up the player or URL. I've tried rtmp://myserver/app/livestream (which works with regular encoding). Thanks, sr
[flexcoders] Re: Example of writing metadata in synch with video?
Actually, I was a little confused on both. I'm using cue points but the article I referenced was talking about the ability to do a similar thing with metadata. However, it appears that it was using the Flash Media Encoder to do it. Very good links btw, thanks!

[flexcoders] Re: Example of writing metadata in synch with video?
I should have also said that I've seen the example with Flash CS3 but
I'm using Flex Builder 3 and can't figure out how to modify it to
make it work.
In the program I'm using to write the metadata, I have:
private function sendMetadata(oData:Object):void {
// this function called multiple times
nc.call("sendDataEvent",null,oData);
}
In the main.asc I have:
Client.prototype.sendDataEvent = function(oData) {
this.newStream = Stream.get("myStream");
this.newStream.send("onDataEvent",oData);
trace('here'); // shows in log
};
In the player application I have:
public function onDataEvent(event:MetadataEvent):void {
trace('here'); // hit once with the starting metadata
}
Thanks for any advice or direction,

[flexcoders] Example of writing metadata in synch with video?
Does anyone know where I can find an example of writing custom metadata so it's linked to the timeline of a video? Much appreciated, sr
[flexcoders] Best approach for playback of live session with remote shared objects?
I have an application that records live audio/video and throughout the session data is changed in remote shared objects which trigger certain events. Different people will change the information in the shared object at different times. I'd like to playback the video and have the information in the shared objects trigger the same events in synch with the .flv. I'm thinking I will just timestamp the information that goes into the shared and store it in a database. Then during playback just make the same changes to the shared object again based on the video's position. I'm new to Flex and wondering if there isn't a better way. Any ideas would be very much appreciated. Thanks, sr

Can anyone tell me how to reposition a VideoDisplay component? I can find the height and width but don't know how to access the x, y. Thanks, Steve
[flexcoders] Re: Changing video sources in the middle of the... er.. stream
Is there an example of a way to have a video display without using
the VideoDisplay component? Maybe that would work here.

[flexcoders] Re: Changing video sources in the middle of the... er.. stream
Actually, I thought about that but found that the VideoDisplay didn't
have that as a method so I found an example that used:
import mx.core.mx_internal;
In the program I wrote...
pubVideo.mx_internal::videoPlayer.clear();
pubVideo.attachCamera(cam);
But that didn't have any effect on the VideoDisplay display. Don't
know if I did that right but nothing yelled at me. ;-)

[flexcoders] Changing video sources in the middle of the... er.. stream
I have a FB3 application that streams live video to a number of users
and periodically needs to change whose sending video. The
application pretty much has to work this way.
Let's call the person that's sending the video the "host".
Periodically they will switch hosts and let another user become the
host and send their video. This works except when the video
is "taken" the users see the new video source, but the video that's
displayed on the new host's videoDisplay is a still picture of the
first host.
Can anyone point me to how this switching should be done?... or be
willing to plow through my code and see where I've screwed up? It's
been simplified as much as I can so it makes (some) sense.
Any direction greatly appreciated!
Steve
Here's a condensed version of the code. I should also add, this is
the same program for all users. The host is only a host because they
were on first:
1. Initial Host connection:
if(nc.connected){
nsPublish = new NetStream(nc);
nsPublish.attachAudio(Microphone.getMicrophone());
nsPublish.publish("LS","live");
cam = Camera.getCamera();
if (cam != null) {
nsPublish.attachCamera(cam);
pubVideo.attachCamera(cam);
addChild(pubVideo);
}
}
2. Initial User Connection:
if (nc.connected){
pubVideo.source = rtmpPath + "/" + rtmpSession + "/LS";
}
// At this point everyone is seeing what they should.

3. User Takes Control:
