Question

Any way to add flags to live .flvs being stored?

Okay, so I'm working on this sign language test in Flash 8. The subject's responses are currently being saved as individual files for each question - so I have 40 files for each subject. I could save them all in one file, but the problem is that I need to be able to retrieve just the part for each question, rather than the entire video. Is there some way to append a video on the end of the previous video, only with a flag between them indicating this is where one ends and the other starts. I know you can do this in the Flash Video Encoder manually, but the whole point here is not to have to do that. The videos will most likely be retrieved sequentially, so I just need some indicator that the question has finished. Anyone know how this might be accomplished??

    You could set a "new question" button on the recorder, so that the user recording the question can press it and a cuepoint would be inserted in the recorded FLV, so in the end you end up with one file with several cuepoints.

    From a publishing stream you can add cuepoints using the netStream.call function. Those calls get embedded in the recorded stream and execute during playback.

    hope this helps
