I have a button that triggers a layer with information at a certain point in the timeline. It works fine in preview if I don't have the video controls showing, but it doesn't if they are showing. I would like learners to be able to go back in the video to review information as I will also be adding in some quizzes to the video. I'm a newbie, so am I doing something wrong? Will it not be possible for learners to have control of the timeline of the video?
Great question! You can trigger actions for the timeline itself but not for the video timeline. I'd recommend adding triggers that are based on the slide timeline.
I've created a sample file for you to take a look at. The first scene uses layers, and the second scene uses lightboxes.
That does solve some of my problem, but now if I click on the player timeline in preview, it keeps popping up the same trigger. Is there a way I can tell it not to do if they have already interacted with it? I'm trying to build in some quiz questions.

Let me know if you have any questions!

Hey there, Lisa!
You can unlock that design with our good friends, variables and conditions. Here's the change I made to Lauren's file above:
Hide layer Layer1 when the timeline reaches 2s on the condition that Interaction1 = True
Sample the published output here, and explore the updates in the attached file.
Let me know if that could work with your design!
Yes thank you! That's exactly what I needed :)
