Seek Bar on Layers
My company wants the seek bar locked so people can't just slide through. Now I have a person telling me to Allow seeking on the layer so the time line will show time on each layer. This also allows ...
Veronica, you are correct. Now the next step is when the time line ends, the learner needs to click on 3 layers to activate the next button. My SME wants the time line to restart on each layer. When I go to the layer menu and and allow seeking the time line restarts, but the user can seek and skim though the layers and not listen to the audio.
So, my real question is can we restart the seek bar every time a layer is click on and not allow seeking.
If I can suggest the following option...
Firstly, go to the Player menu. Under Player Controls, tick the Seekbar box, and then select 'Allow Drag After Completion'. Now, you need to untick that Seekbar box (this seems counterintuitive but stay with me).
By doing the above, it hides the Seekbar on all slides, apart from those where you have ticked the Seekbar option in the Slide Properties screen. Slides with this option ticked should only be videos, and nothing interactive.
When the learner gets to the slide in question, the seekbar will display, but they will not be able to drag it - at first. Once they have completed watching the video, the seekbar then becomes draggable (hence the 'Allow drag after completion' option). There is also a replay button that the learner can click at any time, to the right of the seekbar.
I don't know what's on the 3 layers you're talking about, but if you want to hide the Next button until the video is finished, just place a custom button on the timeline, and have it appear 5 seconds or so before the video ends.
I hope this makes sense!
