Author Flash Video and Labeled Frame CuePoint Nav

I am trying to create a flash site in Flash 8 that involves the use of .flv
files. Right now I have a .fla file that has two frames. The first frame
consists of a FlvPlayback object that is calling a .flv file that lives on a
server. My goal is to have the video w/controls disappear after playing the
video. I want the video to be replaced with a menu containing buttons.

I've found instructions on the macromedia site and on other websites that show
how to use a cuepoint in a .flv to direct the flash movie to move to another
frame (outside the video). Supposedly you just create a CuePoint (where you
want the movie to stop) and give it a name. This name should match the label
of the second frame (in the main timeline where the menu is located). Then a
behavior is added to the .flv object by going to media > Labeled Frame CuePoint
Navigation.

I followed these instructions and nothing happens when the video reaches the
cue point. I'm not sure if it matters if the cue point is set at "event",
"navigation", or "actionscript". If anyone has run into this same issue and
knows how to get it to work, please let me know.

The instructions I tried to use are from
