Default Re: using cue points in Flash video

Hi - I'm going to repost my question as the original seems to be missing half of the content!


I will be given 8 .flv files by a video company.

I need to create a flash presentation with these 8 video files appearing on top right of the screen (talking head 320 x 240 ish).

The other area of the screen will need to show graphics, either an image - or words floating across the screen, etc. a bit like news backdrops, just representing the speaker in the video.

Coming from a Macromedia Director background and using that terminology, I guess I will need to add cue points/keyframes into the video and then get the flash timeline to wait until the cue points are reached in the video file at specific keyframes?

The other two helpful posters above seem to be relating to flash animation, but its actually Flash Video!!

The presenter will talk for approx. 3 minutes in a small video at the top right, and I need to change wording in the main body of the screen at certain keypoints through that presentation to represent what they are saying. As the Flash videos aren't swfs, I can't break the animation up into pieces as its video!!

Oh dear.. this seems like a really difficult one, yet so simple in Director!
