Video w/cue points to quiz questions. Why can't this work?
Here are the files. Don't know why they didn't upload. The file is a storyline file, but the autoplay issue is only clear when it's uploaded into Rise. I don't want the video to play automatically OR once the user scrolls down to that portion of a Rise page. I want it to play when it's clicked on only.
Kristin- Granted I don't use Rise much, but I don't see what you are describing. When I publish your file and insert it into a Rise project, it does not autoplay. It actually displays the standard SL black preplay click-through screen on top of not autoplaying.
That aside, while I undestand what your design is trying to do, I wasn't sure about why you did not want the video to autoplay. By setting clicking to start, the video is disconnected from the slide timeline. When you revist the slide and jump forward to the last cue point, the video is not automatically advanced since it is set to start on click, and starts over from the begining. You could manually advance it via a script trigger, but that's another step.
Maybe you could just let the video autoplay and setup a pause layer that shows once on the initial timeline start. You could use a variable to prevent it from showing again if desired. That way the video still won't start until the user clicks on the layer, but you link the video playback back into the timeline.
For your future efforts, have you considered using layers for the quiz questions instead of multiple additional slides? Pausing and resuming the base layer timeline while viewing layers seems like it would greatly simplify your approach.
