Do we know when and if storyline will support custom play/pause/ volume controls? I have seen lots of work around involving layers, but i would rather just have triggers that start, pause or stop a the timeline.
Was just getting ready to post this same comment in a different thread. Seems like it should be possible to do currently without using layers but I haven't been able to get it to work.
I know captivate allows users to implement custom buttons thru "widgets". All these are are little flash applets that take info from the player or push info to the player. I've been trying to work on a working demo to be able to pull date such as test scores and other variables but I have had no luck. I'll be posting another thread requesting some assistance from the Articulate Gurus that may have some info on this.
I just find it weird that you cannot stop or start the timeline. Its a major sticking point in our course developement, as we want a user to be able to pause the course, and come back and resume from where they where. this doesnt happen in storyline currently
Keith, because I've been working on custom buttons for video playback I assumed you were doing the same. Now that you mention it, though, it is odd that there are no options to pause the timeline with custom button triggers.
Jerson, while the flash widget may work in some applications, I personally am trying to stay away from these as much as possible because I need my content to be functional in both Flash and HTML5 playback.
Heh no, i understand the video controsl and how to customise them. It's frustrating, because Storyline lacks the some of the functionally, animations and options that Articulate had, but you gain Ipad and better interactions.
theres is another set of XML with the same stuff with it. I makes me wonder if the functionalty is there but not enabled, and if so, how do we enable it, or access it for use with a custom navigation?

That is something I've thought about. I'm not exactly sure how it exactly will handle this.
But for me it is a little bit more about seeing if I can get this to work.

Maddness!
Hi All,
this is a sample which I got from the forum a few months ago.
Its pretty basic but it gave me the jumpstart I needed

I have being playing around with the files, and i have found some interesting things in the frame.xml file:
