Getting Started: Working with Videos in ActionScript

After a fully encoded USM (with subtitles, cue points, and multiple audio channels) has been created, and the video has been added to a Flash file via ActionScript, it will be possible to control the display of those subtitles, change the sound output via audio channels, and use cue points to navigate and execute events. Note: This section builds upon the tutorial in Getting Started: Adding Videos to Flash. Please create the Flash file referenced there in order for these tutorials to work.

This section will guide users through the process of accessing and using cue points, subtitles, and audio tracks of Scaleform videos in Flash SWFs. This tutorial is intended to provide a basic foundation for working with videos in ActionScript. Some of the code samples provided are suggested, but by no means the only way to achieve the finished product. In the end, the needs of a specific project will dictate code implementations.
