How to Access Flex 3 VideoDisplay CuePoint Parameters

Unfortunately when adding cuePoint event listener to mx:VideoDisplay component in Adobe Flex 3 you only receive name, time and type of the Cue Point. Here is a dirty workaround to access the parameters from the metadata.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>

<s:Application

minHeight="600"

minWidth="955"

xmlns:fx="http://ns.adobe.com/mxml/2009"

xmlns:s="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/spark"

xmlns:mx="library://ns.adobe.com/flex/mx">

<fx:Script>

<![CDATA[

import mx.core.mx_internal;

import mx.events.MetadataEvent;

import mx.utils.ObjectUtil;

protected function videoDisplay_metadataReceivedHandler(event:MetadataEvent):void

{

videoDisplay.mx_internal::videoPlayer.addEventListener(MetadataEvent.CUE_POINT, videoPlayer_cuePointHandler);

}

private function videoPlayer_cuePointHandler(event:MetadataEvent):void

{

trace(ObjectUtil.toString(event.info.parameters));

}
