FLV video with player controls - keeps playing after leaving slide
Aug 04, 2011
Here's my challenge: I have a video that needs to go into Presenter, however I want it to have individual player controls (since I am not using any player controls otherwise). To achieve this, I put the video in Captivate to overlay the video player control and publish. Then, insert the resulting .SWF into Presenter. When I publish, the .SWF, .FLV. and player control SWF go into the Data folder. And it works!
Except...
The video is on slide of a 4 slide module, with hyperlinked buttons to navigate between the 4 slides. If I leave the slide w/out pausing the video, the audio track keeps playing. If I then go back to slide 3, the video and audio starts playing again, OVER the old audio that is still running.
I know this is outside of 'standard' Presenter functionality... but help!!

Hi Adam & welcome to Heroes,
It sounds like the ActionScript from the Captivate file is causing some issues. Would inserting the Captivate content as a web object work for you?

Hi Brian - I did try playing around with the web object route at first, however I had some sizing issues I couldn't resolve.
The Captivate project is 640x480, and I set the web object size to the same size - I then end up with both vertical and horizontal scroll bars.
If I size the web object manually to be larger, I end up with a border around the content.
Any help you can provide is appreciated!
Hi Adam,
Unfortunately, you'll likely need to use the web object option to insert the Captivate file for the functionality that you need. I'd recommend playing with the settings until you get output that you can work with.
