jump to a specified cue point.
To seek to a specified duration:

> Components).
The component is in the FLVPlayback - Player 8 folder.

Properties).
4. Type my_flvPb in the Instance Name text box.
5. Drag an instance of the Button component from the Components panel to the Stage.

my_flvPb.contentPath = "http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/video/
sheep.flv";
seek_button.label = "Seek";
seek_button.addEventListener("click", seekFlv);
function seekFlv(eventObj:Object):Void {
