Pause and resume video with custom buttons

Mar 26, 2014

Hello,

I am new to Articulate. Could someone please tell me how I can achieve the following: I want to pause and resume video with custom buttons. All of the animations and the video should stop when I click on Pause - and pick up where it is left off once I click Resume.

The "Pause timeline of base layer" layer option doesn't really seem to work for me. Could somebody please help?

Thank you!

Hi Andre and Michael,

As anĀ  alternative, I THINK this does what you want, Andre, and is the same idea, Michael, as what you've shown, except w/out variables.

Base layer has photos animating in from the top and a video.

A Pause button on the base layer shows the "Pause" layer.

Pause layer properties are set to no seeking and pause timeline of base layer.

A Play button on the Pause layer is positioned at exactly the same spot as the Pause button on the Base Layer.

See Rebecca's storyline file for a solution to pausing a video using a customized play/pause button. Great work!
