Looking to build a flash thing with a flv video on the right hand side, when it reaches certain cue points in the video it will trigger an image to the left to update to another image.
Can this be done streaming in an FLV rather than embedding the video into the main timeline (bigger loadtime before viewable)?
Video 1-10 sec = Image 1 on left
Video 10-20 sec = Image 2 on left
Video 20-30 sec = Image 3 on leftkind of thing.

Sure.
Not sure if you refer to streaming as "real" streaming (never tried cuepoint with real streaming) or as progressive download (the flv being deployed by a normal server and NOT a streaming server)
if the latter, totally doable.Make sure you use with FLV and NOT F4V/H264 as a format for the video, since those formats cannot have cuepoints embedded on the video itself.
- Cue Points work the same in streaming as they do in progressive dl.co2
