I need to hide a video when a button is clicked, but while hiding that video I also need to have that video continue playing while being hidden.
When I place the video on a slide layer, the video doesn't continue to play when the layer is hidden. I also can't seem to hide a video on a base layer since it doesn't have any States.
I don`t know if this would work for you, but you could try a motion path to move the video offstage. This way, the video would be `hidden` but continue to play. Here is a quick example: http://dev.keypointlearn.com/xcl73_SL2/HideVid/V1/story.html
You, sir, are a genius! Thanks so much for the great idea!
Good to hear that my suggestion works. You might want to give Walt`s suggestion a try as well. Even with a motion path set to it`s shortest duration (0.10 sec.) you might still see a `flash` as the video is moved off stage. Covering the video(s) as Walt suggested might provide a more seemless transition.

Place a shape over it. set the shape to no outline, and fill with either a solid color to match the background. or background fill.
That would work, but I need to have another video overlay it. So I have two videos which both need to be hidden on a toggle button

For what I need it for, the animation actually helps with the look of the course. So I'll keep it the animation on the "standard" speed. Thanks again!
Since there's no way to change the state of a video from Normal to Hidden, this is GENIUS.
Glad you found this thread helpful, Earl!
