Detect user interaction with Player components?
Is there a way, perhaps using JS, to detect when a user clicks the Menu, Glossary, Resources etc.?
I am using xAPI to report other data to a LRS but also looking to see if this is possible.
Thank you.

by when, do you mans the elapsed time of the project?
I always use my own Menu, Glossary and etc. Not because the built-in options don't work, but mostly because I can't stand the thought of my work looking like it came off the shelf in a box. It also makes it a lot easier to do this sort of thing with triggers.
Sorry I missed this, thanks for your reply. I agree on the using own Menu etc. however this is a client with a set interface. They want to track clicks on the Hamburger Menu, Glossary, Resources etc. and send to their LRS so they know if users are using them.
Hi Jeff,
I don't know if you are still looking for a solution or if you may have already found one, but I wanted to share this thought to give you some ideas regarding your inquiry.
If I wanted to know if the hamburger menu was clicked, I would probably use this JavaScript code in an Execute JavaScript trigger when the timeline starts on this slide
let counter = 0;
const hamburger = document.getElementById('hamburger');
hamburger.addEventListener('click', () => {
counter++;
setVar("counter", counter)
console.log(`Hamburger clicked ${counter} times`);
});
Now you can send a custom xAPI statement when the "counter" variable in Storyline changes:
When tested in ScormCloud I can see that the hamburger menu was clicked 5 times.Hi Nedim, thank you so much for this. I was looking for this a few months ago but my client decided it wasn't worth the effort. Now that I know this is an option, I will try it out. I really appreciate it. Thank you.
