Adding a video to a layer

Hey Ian,

You can certainly add videos within layers. It shouldn't cause any problems and will enhance the experience.

In the layer options (little cog icon on the layer) you might want to check the box that says "Pause timeline on base layer". This will make the seek control bar move and show position status in each layer and video.

That was a very quick reply! Thanks David - that's pretty nifty!

Hi Ian! Thanks for popping in to let us know that David's solution worked for you :)

Hello! I also have a question about videos in layers. I want learners to click a Home button on each layer to return to a Home layer or the Base layer. Then the learner can choose another circle to click to see a different video. Is that possible? Also, can I use states so that the Home layer and Base layers show Visited states? I attached a file for your review. Thank you.

Hi Carol

I've updated the triggers in your file just for the first circle...Take a look and see if it does what you want.  You don't need the Home layer 3, you can hide the current layer and return to the base layer.  You'll notice I've used hotspots on the Home and Next group objects - this is because sometimes grouped objects can be fiddly for a user...ie. sometimes they need to hit a sweet spot for it to work.  If you use hotspots you can be sure the user will be able to click and the action will work but this is entirely your decision - if you choose to use the groups just delete the hotspots and that should delete the related triggers.
