Storyline Video Custom Controls Not Working
Try using a single Play/Pause button that toggles between two states, rather than separate buttons. You can use the built-in "Selected" state to handle this:
- The Normal state should show the Pause icon
- The Selected state should show the Play icon
Since "Selected" is a built-in state, Storyline will automatically toggle between these two states when the button is clicked.
You can then use triggers to pause or resume the timeline based on the button's current state. For example:
- When the button is clicked,
→ If state = Selected → Pause timeline
→ If state = Normal → Resume timeline
This keeps the interaction simple and clean with only one toggle button controlling both actions. Example trigger below:
I've also attached my version of the setup for you to review.
Thanks Jess, unfortunately I can't attach a version due to our info sec policy.
I did try a variable...one on the media and when that didn't work i did one for the actual play button, but it didn't work.
I'm stumpted because I have done this in the past and it worked like a charm. Thanks for your advice though, its appreciated.
Hi, DanielJackso042!
I understand you can't upload the file due to security purposes. I wanted to point out that you're welcome to share it privately with our team, and we're happy to sign an NDA upon request. We delete the files once troubleshooting is complete.
I've added a test version below under Nedim's comment...feel free to take a look and point out any glaringly obvious mistakes I must be making.
