media playback, cue points, gotoandplay

[sammymaudlin]

Fairly new to Flash. Not an actionscripter but can certainly cut & paste. I have a media playback component that loads an flv. All fine and good. When that playback ends I want to move on down my timeline. I'm looking for something like: at flv end gotandplay "frame label" Can anyone help me? Do I need to embed a cue point? I'd rather not but... Also I'd prefer to do it with Flash 7 but if it has to be 8, it has to be 8. Thanks in advance.

Took me forever and then some. Hopefully I can save someone else from the hassel. I didn't use cue points at all. Here's what I found:

Do not attach the script to the FLVPlayback component, just put it on the frame where you use the component. Remove the onClipEvent handler and use this script exaclty as written:
=====================
vid.contentPath = "flash.flv";
var vidList : Object = new Object();

vidList.complete = function() {
gotoAndPlay("Scene 4",1);
}
vid.addEventListener ("complete",vidList);
=====================

Make sure the FLVPlayback or Media Playback component has an Instance name of vid.
"flash.flv" should be the name of your flv. Include quotes. assign "Scene ", frame) appropriately.
