Hello. I am building custom controls within storyline to pause and play videos by inserting a pause and play button and adding a slide layer that pauses the base layer. I have used this method in many of my past projects without an issue.
For some reason my SWF video will not pause when I use my botton to display the slide layer that should be pausing the base layer. Any ideas why? Or how to correct this?

Thank you, Justin. Unfortunately I had already read these threads and they did not resolve my issue. But I appreciate your assistance!
I am able to create custom pause/play buttons with a screen recording, but not a video file SWF format that I imported. I only want to allow users to pause or play, so the video controls will not work for me because they allow users to fast forward. I have set up multiple SWF files to play one after another to look like one seamless video and only want users to be able to pause and resume, something I set up with custom pause/play buttons. I'm a bit baffled as to why I have no issue using my custom buttons utilizing a slide layer and pause base layer with the screen recordings and not my imported SWF files.

Hello again, Rita.
Are you using the Insert > Video > Video from File option or the the Insert > Flash option? Thanks!
