Need Suggestion: Video on the timeline and timeline itself acting out of sync of each other

The design is that clicking on a video will pause it, because sometimes that is needed. The timeline will run until it is stopped.

If you have actions you need to have done before the video, put them on a slide, and have them done. Then when you are ready for the video, jump to the slide with the video on it. Start it when the slide timeline starts, cover the video with a transparent shape, and the video timeline and the slide timeline will be the same. They will not get out of synch. If you need to pause the video, instead pause the slide timeline, which will pause the video. You can do this by attaching a trigger to the transparent shape that toggles a T/F variable and uses the variable change to pause or play the timeline.
