Not Allow Clicking on Video Clip

There may be a more elegant solution, but how about putting a hotspot over the videos to shield them from user clicks?

I was thinking of cobbing something together.. and that was one of my ideas... i have a couple other pieces i have to work on before i absolutely have to have this solved.. so i figured i'd put it out to see if anyone has anything more elegant..

yeah, you need to place a transparent object over top.  Just create square/rectangle and set the fill transparency to 100 (right-click shape).

Thanks for the quick responses... i guess that's what i'm gonna do.

Yep - Bill got it right, and got there first.

Stick a big 'ol box over the top of it

You could even add a Trigger to the (invisible) box that fires off saying "Stop clicking! It's here because you are meant to view it all!" (just to surprise people...)

hahahahahahaah

Bruce.. i really like that idea!!

I was actually joking about doing something like that..

this course is for teenagers.. and when we did some user testing they could NOT stop clicking on things they weren't supposed to.

so i said i could throw something in there if they click more than once.. i could give them a msg teling them to quit clicking!

Here's how to do it on the second click..

Hope this helps

Bruce

awesome.. thanks!

ok...I've definitely been hanging around this forum tooooo long . Not as quick on the  trigger as Bruce, but created something with same video, except using a character as a prompt. Newborn grandson is on my lap, necessitating 1-handed wrk...but will upload in a bit!

Also, didn't use hotspot, just plain old transparent rectangle

Here's my version ... grandson is with his mom

You guys have been awesomely helpful..

i am ALL set.. i got my video stopping like a pro..

...now if anyone can tell me how to get rid of the little red X that comes up when you have a slide lightboxed...

(another question for another thread)

Cannot be done - to do that you need to simulate a lightbox, using a semi-transparent mask slide.

I know.. I actually asked that question a while back and was told that.

I was hoping if i keep asking someone will someday say "it's super easy.. this is how"

Thanks everyone! I benefitted from this as well.
