Video won't loop

Mar 30, 2015

I have a flv video on a slide. i have a trigger that starts the video when the timeline starts and five other triggers that say play this video with the video completes. It won't loop. It plays it for 6 seconds and then it stops it.

Any suggestions.

Hi Cindy,

If the video is on the same slide have you looked at just setting the slide to "jump to slide" when the timeline ends - and that way the slide would just replay? You'll want to ensure the slide is set to "reset to initial state" as well. 

If you're in need of a different set up or that's not working for you, have you looked at setting up the looping behavior in the tool in which you created the FLV file?

Hi Cindy,

Instead of adding triggers to replay the video, what about just replying the entire slide using a "jump to slide trigger when the timeline ends" element? You'll want to make sure the slide is also set up to advance automatically.

In regards to the video source file, you may want to look into all the settings and see if there are any other elements to set up as it's not something I'm familiar with.
