Cue Point Navigation

Attaching Actions to the buttons

To respond to the cue points in the video, we'll set up an ActionScript "listeners" that will listen for the cue points and then execute actions we specify.

Screen 1: keyframe Home in the layer actions

stop();

// make the videoScreen symbol invisible
setProperty("_root.videoScreen", _visible, false);

// create a variable for an event listener
var cueListener:Object = new Object();

//declare a function called by the event listener
//the listener passes a reference to the cue point
cue.Listener.cuePoint = function(cues) {

//create a variable for the name of the cue point
var cueName = cues.info.name;

//replace the text placeholder in the Dyanmic
//text container with the name of the cue point
_root.videoScreen.textClip.text = cueName;

//move the video banner movieclip to the named
//keyframe that matches the cue name
_root.videoScreen.videoBanner.gotoAndStop(cueName);
}

//start the event listener
_root.videoScreen.theVideo.addEventListener("cuePoint", cueListener);


For the presentation of our video I attached actions to the buttons in the video screen that will allow viewers to navigate to the different points in the video.

The Bride and Groom Button
on (release) {
import mx.video.FLVPlayback;
_root.videoScreen.theVideo.seekToNavCuePoint("The Bride and Groom");
}

The Toss
on (release) {
import mx.video.FLVPlayback;
_root.videoScreen.theVideo.seekToNavCuePoint("The Toss");
}

The Kiss
on (release) {
import mx.video.FLVPlayback;
_root.videoScreen.theVideo.seekToNavCuePoint("The Kiss");
}

The Rings
on (release) {
import mx.video.FLVPlayback;
_root.videoScreen.theVideo.seekToNavCuePoint("The Rings");
}

The site development is now complete!
