I now have the cuepoints added but they don't always trigger. If I have three
cuepoints at 71, 108, 140, all three cuepoints trigger at 140 seconds rather
than triggering in turn.  Any ideas why that's happening? Here's the relevant
code. Thanks in advance.

//this callback function will be called every time the event listener hears a
cuepoint being triggered
function cuePoint(eventObject:Object):Void {
    //trace("cuepoint function called. my_FLVPlybk. asquepoints =
"+my_FLVPlybk._cpMgr[0].asCuePoints[0].name);
    trace("eventObject.info.time = "+eventObject.info.time);
    trace("eventObject.info.time = "+eventObject.info.name);
    var nameString:String = eventObject.info.name;
    if (nameString.charAt(2) != 0) {
        var cpNumber:String = nameString.charAt(2)+nameString.charAt(3);
    } else {
        var cpNumber:String = nameString.charAt(3);
    }
    //check to see if the next slide is different to the current one
    if (slideSplitArray[Number(cpNumber)] != slideSplitArray[Number(cpNumber-1)])
{
        //fade out slide 1
        _root[slideSplitArray[Number(cpNumber-1)]]._alpha = 0;
        _root[slideSplitArray[Number(cpNumber)]]._alpha = 100;
    }
}
//Add the cuepoints for this FLV to the my_FLVPlybk component
my_FLVPlybk.addEventListener("cuePoint", cuePoint);
//this function will be called when one of the 8 buttons on the left are
pressed
for (var m:Number = 0; m<9; m++) {
    eval("launchFlv"+m).onRelease = function() {
        //remove any listeners currently attached to the flv
        for (var p:Number = 0; p<10; p++) {
            my_FLVPlybk.removeASCuePoint("cp0"+p);
        }
        var buttonNum:String = this._name.charAt(9);
        count = Number(buttonNum)-1;
        populateMc();
    };
}
//This will add the cue points to the flv
function populateMc():Void {
    //load the relelvent flv
    my_FLVPlybk.contentPath = vids_array[count];
    //my_FLVPlybk.load(vids_array[count]);
    //the slideSplitArray will consist of the slides for this array split by a "|"
    if (slides_array[count].indexOf("|")>0) {
        slideSplitArray = slides_array[count].split("|");
    } else {
        slideSplitArray[0] = slides_array[count];
    }
    if (cuepoints_array[count].indexOf("|")>0) {
        //More than one slide for this video
        myTempCP_array = cuepoints_array[count].split("|");
        for (var j:Number = 0; j<myTempCP_array.length; j++) {
            var numberJ:Number = +(Number(j));
            if (j<10) {
                my_FLVPlybk.addASCuePoint(myTempCP_array[j], "cp0"+(numberJ+1));
            } else {
                my_FLVPlybk.addASCuePoint(myTempCP_array[j], "cp"+(numberJ+1));
            }
        }
    } else {
        //check to see if there's a slide change here
        if (cuepoints_array[count] != "") {
            //Only one slide for this video
            var cueP2t:Object = new Object();
            //create cue point object
            cuePt2.time = cuepoints_array[count];
            cuePt2.name = "cp01";
            cuePt2.type = "actionscript";
            my_FLVPlybk.addASCuePoint(cuePt2);
        }
    }
    //hide the slides after the first one for now
    for (var k:Number = 0; k<=32; k++) {
        if (k<10) {
            _root["slide0"+k]._alpha = 0;
        } else {
            _root["slide"+k]._alpha = 0;
        }
    }
    _root[slideSplitArray[0]]._alpha = 100;
}

I've figured out that adding cuepoints over 100 seconds is causing the problem.
If I add three cuepoints, the highest being 99 seconds, then it works fine. But
if any of them are over 100 then they won't trigger one at a time, but all
three will trigger at the time of the highest cuepoint. Don't know how to
rectify this.
