Cue Points and SWF Files

[nicesite]

I have a project that involves a 3 minute video (avi) and a Flash quiz. Once the video is done playing, I need it to load/play my flash quiz without the user clicking a link.

I'm not doing a great job making this work. I created a new Flash 8 doc and imported my vid and set a cue point for the end of the movie. My idea is once the cue point hits the end of the movie, load quiz.swf.

The cue Points are:
Name Time Type
end 00:03:34.643 Event

Parameters for "end"
Name Value
quiz pass

The action script is:
var vidList:Object = new Object ();
vidList.cuePoint = function(cues) {
pass.loadmovieNum("quiz.swf", 0);
}
vid.addEventListener("cuepoint", vidList);

Am I way off base on this? I'm willing to credit a paypal account if you can make this work. Thank you.

Is pass the name of your movieclip container where the quiz.swf is being loaded? It looks like you are missing some stuff, but since I am at work and about to head into a bunch of meetings...

Hi Sgaspar11,

"pass" is the parameter value for my cue point. I didn't know if I even
needed to create a parameter, for my quiz but I did it anyway.

My cue point for this example would be:

end 00:01:37:400 Event

Parameters for "end"

quiz pass

You're right, I'm not doing the action scripting correctly. Ufda! Thanks for the links, I'll look that over. If you run into anything regarding loading a swf after a video is done playing , let me know.

Thanks.

Cool, so let me clarify

You're telling it to load a .swf. Are you loading that into the same .swf as the flash movie(it looks like this might be the case based on your script)? Or it is opening in a seperate window? How do you have/want that to work?

Good question. I do indeed want the quiz to load into the same swf as the movie (shortvid.swf).

If I don't set any cue points and just do loadMove("quiz.swf") in my shortvideo.swf it will load the quiz. What I can't do is play my shortvid first and then load the quiz.

I must not be writing my script correctly and/or not setting up my cue events right. I'm not real strong at action scripting so I'm getting a little beyond my skill sets. If I only had the mind of a programmer.

I'll take a look at it thank you. I haven't had a chance to follow up on it. I will sure be glad when this problem is solved.
