Can I write a trigger to control an embedded video/audio to play from, say, 5 seconds, or from a particular cue point? It seems that we can only play/pause/stop a media.
Thanks. http://community.articulate.com/forums/t/14783.aspx is in fact what I am asking. I think being able to jump to position X in a video or audio clip is extremely important. Hope StoryLine would be able to support it one day.
For example - multiple choice answers jumping to a specific part in a specific video, although that particular example could be done with branching and different video cuts.
Yes, can workaround by doing different video cuts, but it would be very painful.
Btw, if I want to extend the functionality of SL, is there any SDK that I can use? The project that we are working on requires frequent interaction with our server, so lot of web services call for retrieving/posting data.

Here's a thread from yesterday that touches on that: http://community.articulate.com/forums/t/14783.aspx
If I understand the question correctly, if you want a video to play from 5 seconds, just place it appropriately on the timeline.
Once you have inserted a video, you can then select it, click on "Options", and play it Automatically, when clicked, or using a Trigger.
If you have a look at Episode 4 here, you will, (at the end), see a funky "TV/handset controller" that play videos in a number of ways.
Hope this helps.

OK, apologies, misunderstood.
It would be a very useful feature.

Hi,
It is the plan to release SDK, but it's not out yet.
No date known yet - but Articulate have said it's going to be made available.
