Controlling Video

Frances,

This is a dated post, and there may be better tools available today.

Take off the player controls. Place a shape over the video, to prevent stopping and starting the video by clicking on it. We now have a trigger that will show a layer at a specific time on the timeline. If you start the video when the timeline of the slide starts, the video and slide will have the same timeline. Stopping the timeline of the slide stops the video. Show the quiz layer at the desired time, and set its properties to pause the base timeline.

 When the quizzing is done, a click can hide the layer, which will resume the timeline, which restarts the video.

The shape over the video needs to have no outline, a fill, and the transparency set to 98% transparency or higher.
