cue point not fired?

We're using FMS3 to stream a 120 minute FLV with about dozen cue points added by AS3. We are using the cue points to stop playback and present a question in order to continue playback. Very infrequently a cue point will fail to be fired and playback continues right through. Different browsers, different OSs, slightly different versions of the Flash Player.

Are there situations where a cue point event can fail to fire?
What is the mechanism that triggers a cue point to fire?
Is it possible that due to streaming or network bandwidth fluctuations the frame containing a cue point could be dropped?
Is there a way to ensure that all cue points are delivered to the player?
Would embedding an event cue point in the FLV provide any more reliable behavior?

Thank you.

    Solved.

    Turns out that the FLV was being swapped to a lower bitrate version and all AS cue points are destroyed when the stream changes.

    I'm still interested in learning the answers to my original questions if anyone has any insight.

    Thanks,
