Embedded Video Trigger

Hi Michael,

I just had this same question and found this page.  I ended up figuring this out by doing the following:

In StoryLine:

1. Remove Next button from the slide 

2. Create a Text variable with any name.  e.g. VideoFinishedEvent

3. Create a trigger to advance to next slide when the variable changes:

In your video player:

In the equivalent of the video completion event for you video player, add the following JavaScript:

var d = new Date(); 
var player = parent.parent.GetPlayer(); player.SetVar('VideoFinishedEvent', d.getTime());

Here's what's going on;

Line 1:  Creating a date object for use on Line 3

Line 2:  Getting a reference to the StoryLine html player

Line 3:  Changing the variable VideoFinishedEvent to the current time in milliseconds

I'm setting the variable to a value that should always be different from any previous value saved.  This is done to ensure the value is always different, thus triggering the variable change trigger.

I'm sure there is a better way to do Line 2, but I haven't gotten that far yet.

Good luck!
