Using a Video as a Drag-and-Drop Object
Sep 30, 2016

Hi all,
I have a set of videos that I want the user to watch then categorize one-by-one. I set up two hotspots (the categories) as drop targets. I want to set each video as a drag item but it doesn't come up as an option in form view.
Is there a way around this?
I thought about having videos that are triggered to disappear when they end and reveal a corresponding photo that the user can then drag and drop. This seems like a clumsy approach though, and then users can't re-watch the video if they need to see it again to categorize it. Any thoughts on a more elegant approach?
Thanks!

You should be able to group the video with some other object, e.g. a transparent shape and use that group as a drag object. See an example here, where a video (as part of a group) is draggable while it is playing.
Also, here is a brief blog post that describes the setup for the example above.
Such an easy solution. Thank you!
