Not a JavaSrcipt Expert / Can someone point me in the right direction
I would like to control a youtube video in storyline - load, play, pause, etc. (Instead of using the Youtube commands)

Thanks for your help. I was able to download the file, create the placeholder.html file and load it onto a webserver. I also modified the user.js file as recommended.
I ran it successfully with the included youtube video, and was able to also switch it out withe another video. All good.
The only problem now is the play, pause buttons don't work. I can play the video with the YouTube play button, but not with the buttons in the storyline file.
Any suggestions to get it working?
I appreciate your guidance.

A few questions to help troubleshoot this, Tony:
Were you able to get the play/pause buttons to work with the original video in the sample?
Is there something unique about the video you're trying to control (e.g., is it private, does it have ads associated with it, etc.)?
If you're published file is on your local machine, have you tried placing it on a web server (preferably in the same location as the placeholder.html file)? I do not recommend testing this from Articulate Review because it doesn't always work well with custom things like this.
