Defining cue points (Flash Professional only)

A cue point triggers an action when the playhead position equals the value entered in the Position fields. Each cue point consists of a name and the time at which it occurs. By default, cue point times are specified in "hour : minute : second : frame" format, with a default frame rate of 30 frames per second and can be set to any frame rate. Cue points work with milliseconds or frame numbers.

Cue Points also can be added and removed through ActionScript with the addCuePoint () and removeCuePoint () methods. For more information, see MediaDisplay component.. For more information, see MediaPlayback component.

To add a cue point to a MediaDisplay instance:

  1. Select the MediaDisplay instance.
  2. In the Component Inspector (Window > Development Panels > Component Inspector), click the Add (+) button in the Cue Point panel.
  3. Enter the name of the frame or slide, and the time the action is to be triggered.
