I have a toggle variable used for a closed caption feature on my video. The variable shows CC when clicked and hides when clicked again. The problem I am having is that if the user touches the seek bar to advance the video, the closed caption toggles off.

Hi Jennifer
the sample you uploaded doesn't have the seekbar/video controls enabled - do you mean the slide seekbar or you have added video controls below the video from the options tab in Storyline?
Click CC to get the captions running. Then if you click on the seek bar, the CC toggles. I am not sure why it would do that other than the caption variable is time sensitive? But the CC button is what is being identified for the toggle, so it doesn't make entire sense why it would behave this way.

Hi Joseph,

Under Operator, set the dropdown to = NOT Assignment. That changes the representation to toggled."
(Tested it, and it does, see modified attached story...).
Hope it helps,
Alex
Exactly what I was looking for Alex. Thanks.
Next time I'll try reading the full thread before I post a question

Hey Jennifer,
Welcome to E-Learning Heroes- so glad you're here! ✨
This thread is a bit older- so let's start from scratch. I'm happy to help 😄
Can you share your .story project file here so we can take a look at what's happening? You can add it as an attachment right to a comment like this:
Thanks!
Page sample attached.
The same problem occurs with the caption feature with audio narration and no movie.

Add the seek bar in Player. I pulled slide from presentation that wasnt
proprietary.

I added the seek bar to the slide.

Thanks for sharing your file, Jennifer!
There seems to be an issue with "Change state of an object to Hidden when the timeline starts" trigger, and advancing the seekbar.
To get around it, I made two changes to your file.
Have a look at the changes I made in your file--I hope that helps!
You are a life saver!!! Thank you.
Yay! 🎉 So glad I could help!
