Control embedded videos
Hi all.
Is it possible to control embedded videos in ST? If I add videos to two separate layers and control the layers with two buttons, both videos will play simultaneous if I click the two buttons. I wuld like the video om layer 1 to stop playing when I click button 2 to watch video on layer 2.
Triggers like stop media won't work. Any ideas?

Hi Gustaf
Try setting triggers:
Thx Wendy but I am afraid that won't work as you can't control embedded videos with triggers the way you do with ordinary videos that you import into ST.

Sorry Gustaf
I train another app which uses the term embed to mean putting the object into the system as itself not linking to it from an outside source.
Where are your videos hosted Gustaf? If they are on YouTube or Vimeo it may be possible to use their API to communicate with SL.
Thx Matthew.
They are hosted on Dreambroker. But when you talk about a external API I guess it's up to the host t offer such a solution and therefore nothing you can do from within ST itself?
That's correct. It might be worth contacting dream broker and seeing if they have an API.
