Hotspot Trigger
Jan 07, 2020
Hi,
I have created a rectangular Hotspot over an object on a slide where I would like users to click on the Hotspot to move to the next slide (rather than using a next button). I created a trigger for the Hotspot that instructs users to 'Jump to next slide when the user clicks the Hotspot'. The problem is, the object I want users to click on is in a video. The video sits behind the Hotspot on the timeline and I don't want users to be able to click the Hotspot before the video completes as they will advance to the next slide before watching the rest of the video.
What trigger can I use to prevent users from jumping to the next slide if they happen to click the Hotspot before the video completes?
Thanks,
Tarsha

Hi Tarsha
instead of a hotspot try adding a rectangle shape over the video with a fill (100% transparency not NO FILL) and set the initial state to hidden.
Add a trigger to change state of the rectangle to normal when video completes. Then add the jump to slide trigger when user clicks rectangle.
Hello. Just put your hotspot at the end of the timeline before the video ends. Also, depends on if you let the user scrub ahead in the video without watching, not sure if you have the seekbar showing?
Thanks Wendy! Works perfectly.
Thanks Jeff! I went with Wendy's solution but it's great that there's another way of achieving the same outcome :)
Or do that too ;0) That is the great thing about SL, many ways to do things.
Glad that works for your project Tarsha! and Jeff's correct there are many ways to achieve the same outcome in SL it's whatever works for you ;-)
