trigger if a video's navigation controls appear

Jan 10, 2013

Here's what I'd like to do.

1. Create a slide that has an embedded video with no navigation controls. It will be accessed in full slide mode so users can use the Storyline player's play/pause button to control the video.

2. In other parts of the course, lightbox that slide. At that point, it would be best if the video has navigation controls.

I know I can trigger things based on if the slide is lightboxed or not... but is turning nav controls on/off a triggerable event?

If the answer is no, I'm thinking of creating a layer that appears if the slide is lightboxed, and in that layer I will create my own play/pause controls. I haven't done it before but bet it will work -- because Storyline rocks!

Thanks,
Heather

I would just have two different slides with the same video on

You could do it your way as there is a trigger that checks if the the slide is lightboxed or not

Thanks Phil. This issue applies to about 20 videos, so I'd rather not maintain duplicates of all of them. I still haven't figured out a way to do it the first way, but I'm leaning toward just going ahead and doing it the second way (showing a layer if it's lightboxed).

Thanks!
