Detecting video start

Hi Juanjo,

Creating a trigger such as : Change state of ...{image}... to State :Hidden when "Timeline Starts" for Object ...{video} , will do the trick.

Hi, Alexandros... i've tried that but it does not wok. When the timeline starts, even the video does not start, the objects hides...

I'm tryin to create a player with an image over it. That images has a play button. when you pressed the image hides and the video starts. when the video starts, the image shows, but if the user hits de play of the video controls, the video starts with the image showing.

Thanks!

Is your video placed in your base layer, or in an extra layer?

Also, how does your video start? "Automatically", When clicked", or "from trigger"?

Base layer... 

The video starts when you click the image i want to show/hide in my course

Hello Juanjo,

If I am understanding it correctly, it may be best if you just disable the video controls on the actual video so that they will use the image instead to pause and play it.

I've done something similar in the past

If it's absolutely necessary for the video to be on the base layer then you would have to hide the play icon next to the player control bar.

If you want to incorporate other play/pause buttons in the slide then it gets much more complicated (especially if you also want to maintain compatibility with html5 and iOS).

The easiest path would be to place the video on a layer if you can afford to, though...

I thing is solved and a very simple way that i don't like so much but it works... the image over the video now covers the video controls, so the user is forced to use only this way to start the video. I must try if it works on html5

Donna, the video controls are necesary. After our clients wants html5, we use a flash player with a lot of controls and removing it, ufff...

I'll tell you if it works on html5

Well, it seems to be working with HTML5 too, at least in the browser, let's see in the damn IPAD
