  2. these trace actions are handy for returning the info that flash has about any cuepoints it encounters, embedded in an FLV [flash video] file. put these traces inside a cuepoint listener function to test whether flash is picking up the cuepoints in the first place, before you add any more complicated code.  these traces will display:
  3.  
  4. - the 'event' the listener has detected [ie. a cuepoint]
  5. - the name of the cuepoint
  6. - the type of the cuepoint [ie. 'event' or 'navigation']
  7. - the time the cuepoint sits at in the video
  8.  
  9. [note: this code assumes your FLV video file has an instance name of 'vid'.  if you change the instance name change the "this.vid.playheadTime" part of the code accordingly]
