How to trigger a video to start and end?

May 18, 2020

Hi, I have inserted a short video and I do not want to use the video-control-panel but instead want to users click on it to start and click again to stop (they need not watch the whole thing).

But with triggers, a click, or double click, does immediately start and stop it without pause. I miss the option to put 'another click'. (I do not want to use click and double-click to differentiate the functions, it is not intuitive).

What could I do?

Add a True/False variable with an initial value of False.

Add a transparent shape and place it over the video.

Add a NOT ASSIGNMENT trigger to the shape that, when clicked, toggles the variable. 

Add a trigger that plays the video when variable changes and variable=true

Add a trigger that pauses the video when variable changes and variable=false
