Create Variations on a Theme

You’ve explored simple video clip playlist navigation using XML, but you could extend this basic framework to other applications as well:

• Video clip navigation: Using cue points and some additional ActionScript, populate your playlist with scenes from a single video clip.
• Client playlists: Create an on-demand playlist using cue points to insert an ad before each clip plays.
• Synchronized captions and graphics: Again using the all-powerful cue points and some clever ActionScript, coordinate the display of relevant captions or other graphics with certain points in your FLVs.
• Guaranteed thumbnails: Add XML data that specifies the starting frame of the video so that you can accommodate video files that begin with a blank frame.
