A better (in my mind) solution is to tie the two timelines together. Don't show the seekbar on the video. That way, the learner can't jump around in the video. Cover the video with a filled, 99% transparent shape. That way the learner can't stop the video by clicking it. Then the timeline of the slide controls both the slide and the video. The only way to pause the video, or rewind it, or jump ahead is the slide seekbar, which also executes the same action for the slide. (Personally, I don't often use the slide seekbar, I prefer to control things with triggers. If I need the learner to be able to pause the video, I give them Pause and Continue buttons.)

Thanks Walt. Unfortunately the slide controls won't control an externally linked video. But your suggestion gives me an idea.
