Storyline 360 Pros — What’s Your Favorite “Hidden Gem”? 💎
Using transparent shapes as hotspots, because you can change the states of shapes, but you can't change the states of hotspots.
I also use a transparent shape to cover up videos on a slide, so the video can't be inadvertently clicked. This is when the video controls are set to Show none.
FYI: Putting a transparent shape over a video (or other interactive object) does prevent it from being clicked with a mouse. It doesn't prevent someone from accessing the object with a keyboard, though.
That probably doesn't matter much with a video, since clicking/selecting it just toggles between pause and play. But that would have a bigger impact if one needs to prevent clicking/selecting a button.
Thanks, Judy. It's not a perfect solution. Do you have any suggestions for an alternate solution?
Brilliant! Wish I had known about this earlier.
