slight gap inbetween hotspots showing
May 29, 2020
I'm attempting to make an interactive video. The user needs to identify a hazard in a video by clicking on the screen. When the user clicks, a flag must appear.
At the moment I have created a number of shapes to appear over the video. each appearing for a specific amount of time the slide timeline. It is then immediately followed by the next shape and so on
Example:
Shape1 - 1 second- 2 second
shape 2 - 2 second - 3 second
shape 3 - 3 second - 4 seconds
If the user clicks on the shape a flag will appear underneath to acknowledge the click. the issue I am having is that, during the transition from one shape to the next there is a tiny gap (I presume where it is loading) no more than 0.1 of a second. If a user clicks during this period it is not recognised.
Is anyone able to offer any advice on how we can solve this issue?
Thanks

I clicked constantly and got all 235 flags; is that the purpose? I have to wonder if you can't accomplish the same thing by having each frame last a whole second, or maybe even 2 seconds. Then if you want to know when they spot the hazard, you can use those really short times in the couple of seconds surrounding the hazard. Just a suggestion to save you a little development time.
Anyway, to your question, set frame1 to last .026, or 0.28, or even 0.5 sec. It doesn't matter how long a frame lasts, because when the next one appears above it, if they click, the top one will intercept the click, and the lower one will never notice it.
Thank you so much for your advice. I’ll give your ideas a go.
