How do I keep Flash video from pausing when the slide is clicked?

Sep 06, 2013

Hello,

I have imported a Flash animation using the Insert --> Video from file command. When the slide plays, if the learner clicks on the animation it pauses. There is no visual indication that the animation has been intentionally paused.

Is there a way to disable this functionality? I have a Pause button implemented, so I don't need the system to pause the swf for me.

Thanks for your help.

Hi Karen - welcome to Heroes!

The easiest way to prevent the user from clicking on the video to pause it (intentionally or not) is to add a shape with a 100% transparent fill to the slide that sits on top of the video - it must be 100% transparent as if you select 'no fill' the user will be able to click through the shape.

I hope this helps,

Antony
