Hi All,
I have a YouTube video embedded as a web object into Storyline. Since Storyline cannot determine the duration of the video, I need to have the next button appear when the video ends. I have searched the discussions and cannot figure this out, as it requires some JavaScript knowledge. Are there any JavaScript gurus out there that can help me.
I'm having a similar problem with an embedded video (though not YouTube). I've played with multiple trigger configurations and I'm at my wits end.
trigger are not supported for "Video from Website..."
you have to do by hand, with webobject and the corresponding video-api of the video provider
Thanks for the reply, Jürgen, but you’re speaking beyond my skill level. I am a beginner. Are there specific steps I can follow, on a level of one-two-three, to get Storyline to advance to the next slide?

Thanks for the reply, can you please explain 'you have to do by hand'? Where does the video API get put into Storyline?
You have to use Javascript to call the WebObject and set a variable to progress to the next slide. Without some basic knowledge of Javascript, HTML5 and how to use it in Storyline...it will be tough to get working...
Thanks for reply, I fully understand that you have to use JavaScript to call the WebObject and set a variable. I am asking for some help on how this is done. An expert in anything was once a beginner.
Samantha,
If you carefully review this blog article and study the sample file provided, you can learn how to control YouTube videos via JavaScript from within Storyline:

In particular, near the end of the article (and in the code) you will see how the author used a custom variable called "End" to trigger a layer when the video ends. In your case, you could use this same variable with a trigger to activate your Next button.
Hi Steve thanks for your reply, I have looked over that post. I am unable to download the source file provided.
It's a zip file. Here's the link:

Unless your browser security blocks zip downloads, you should be able to access it. It may go directly to your Downloads folder.
Thanks so much! My organization was preventing me from downloading it securely.
