keyboard button to replay audio/video
Nov 15, 2017
Hi!
I'm trying to set a trigger so a user can press a key on the keyboard to replay audio or even replay a video. I'm doing this to be 508 compliant, and I'm using the seekbar already. I might have a user who can't use a mouse so I'd like to make an action using the keyboard. I don't see an action to replay media. Only to play and pause. I can't set an action to play the audio when pressing a key, because I already have an action to play the audio when the timeline starts. Any ideas?
Thank you
Debbie

Hi Debbie!
You mentioned you already have a trigger to play the media when the timeline starts, but you can have more than one "Play media" trigger per audio file! Here's an example of the triggers I used:
Try that trigger combo, and let me know if it works for what you had in mind!
Yes I did try that, and the audio did not start when timeline started as per one of the triggers, it started though when I pressed my spacebar. (the other trigger)
Does it work for you? is there a trigger to pause? I just see play or stop.
Hi Debbie,
Is the "Play media when the timeline starts" trigger on top?
You'll want that one on top so it will happen first. If it's not on top, select it and click the up arrow to move it up on the list.
oh, thank you! Do you know if there is a pause media trigger?
Hi Debbie,
Yup, there is! You can use that trigger action to pause media when pressing a key.
Thank you. I didn't see pause media before.
I have not been able to get this trigger combo to work. I actually would like to rewind the audio playing on a lighbox slide. Can anyone help?
Hi Teresa,
I used a similar setup to the one Alyssa shared above and it's working as expected.
I've attached a sample file for you to take a look.
