please, how can I control some audio/video with seekbar? I know, I can use Stop/pause/ play buttoms, but I need to rewind it back or forward...i think I cant be done it with buttons, but with seekbar it can be done, cant it???
I'm not quite sure what you're wanting to do here. If you have a video inserted in the slide, without its own controls, you'll be able to move forward and backward in the video with the seekbar by clicking in the bar. Or are you wanting the video or audio to have their own seekbar/controls?
the main problem is, when I tried the seekbar from the Player, it didnt go with audio, but with slide...so when I forward or backword audio by clicking on seekbar, audio always begin at start..but seekbar continues...so I want this: seekbar=audio/video...I hope you understand me
and the second, Yes, you are right - I want to have my own seekbar, f it is possible ( as is in the uploaded picture- but it is only picture, it doesnt work) not the original seekbar from Player, becouse I dont want to have a ,,grey square" under the each slide of all project....but I dont know if it is spossible to do this own seekbar in this program (somewhere on slide, not under the slide)..
There isn't a built in option for this, unfortunately. If you wanted a custom-made seekbar that's something that would have to be a custom object and I imagine the work for that would be pretty complicated. This is something that I'd love to see, but I'm afraid I don't have any examples of this.
It looks like you've already got "Play", "Pause" and "Stop" buttons in your course. It would probably be best to stick with those buttons for controlling the audio file.
The course looks very good. I think learners will be able to Play/Pause the audio without issue, if you have the triggers set up for the buttons that are already on the slide.
If you do happen to find a custom-built seekbar for media like this, please share
But at least , can you help me with this Seekbarom in the program? buttoms Stop, Play and Pause are not enough. I need for example: the users wants to move to 1:05, so they switches ...then they want go back to start, so they return..by using seekbar..but, seekbar and Audio/Video dont go together...can you give me some examples of setting and using the Seekbar? Or, I upload the File, if it help.
thanks for your suggestions. I have solved this problem with seekbar, but I have a new problem and I need your help.
I enter a pisture of it.
I want have a seekbar for only slected slides, I set that in Slide seetings, fot only slected slide. I havent got seekbar on other slide, but there is a grey square instead of that. And I dont want it there, becouse the size of full sreen is than smaller. I hope you understand me and you know help me.
I'm afraid I don't have any suggestions for fixing that. When you enable the seekbar for one slide, the player adjusts to that size, to accommodate the space needed for the seekbar. This is by design.
So, if you need to use the seekbar on one slide, you're gong to see that extra space on others.
I know that may not be what you want to hear, sorry I don't have better news for you. If you'd like to see more options for this, please do share a feature request with our development team.

Hi,
IIwaited it would not be possible
But at least , can you help me with this Seekbarom in the program? buttoms Stop, Play and Pause are not enough.

thanks a lot
Hi Jane
I can think of a few possible solutions, each would have Pros & Cons!
1 Activate Player Seekbar (attached story file)
2 Insert audio only video & activate 'Show Video Controls'
Video window can be resized vertically or covered to not show
This could be done via screen recording of audio playing
3 Load Flash file with embedded flash player with audio
Audios could be external to flash file if required via playlist

Good morning Doug,
Thanks so much for sharing these suggestions! I hope that one of these options will work out for Jane's project.
I hope you both have a great day
