Until now you could use a third party tool such as Captionate (fantastic piece of software developed by Manitu Group) to embed cue points (time markers within the video) directly into Flash Video (FLV) and trigger events dynamically during playback.

Now the new Flash 8 Video Encoder enables you to embed more metadata, including cue points, making extremely easy to expand the accesibility capabilities of flash, such as subtitles for the Deaf & Hearing Impaired.
