Need some help learning cue points, etc

I need some help with a Flash project I'm working on. If any Flash junkies out
there are up for sitting down with me through email or IM and helping me get to
the point where I have a template FLA doing what I want to do, I'd be willing
to pay you. It wouldn't be much, but it would be something. Here's what I'm
trying to do:

I need to create an interactive talking-head style flash presentation with a
number of progressive download externally linked FLV files, playing in
succession, supported by movie-clip text animations and supporting graphics
which are triggered by cue points in the video. I also need a simple
navigation menu linking to the FLV files. I've got some of this down already,
namely, I've laid the FLVs in and they are playing in succession. I'm stuck on
the cue point part. At this point I really just need some hands-on help. I've
bought books, I've scoured the web.

I'm easy to communicate with, and I'm good with computers and comfortable in
many multimedia design programs. Flash is very powerful, but tougher to learn
than I expected, and I'm at the end of my rope =P
