Video w/cue points to quiz questions. Why can't this work?
Hi,
Thanks for the reply. I think I tried layers but it wouldn't show them (there were a lot of glitches where things woud work, then not work, then work again). I don't want the video to autplay because it's part of a Rise page that has several elements. The video would begin playing before it was even visible on a user's screen. I tried putting in a button to get it to play upon that click, but then it wouldn't play after a user was popped out to answer quiz questions, then returned to the video. I can try pausing the video on the timeline ONLY if the first cuepoint hasn't yet been reached. I think I was trying to do that when the video stopped playing entirely, even on my timeline. At this point, I can't tell what's system malfunction and what's incorrect on my side. I'll play around later this week with other options.
If you create a layer on the video slide, set the layer settings to pause the timeline on the base layer when shown, add a trigger on the base slide to Show layer on timeline start if [some variable] = false, followed by a trigger to set [some variable] to true on timeline start, then you should be able to pause the slide and an autoplaying video (upon only the first play start) until the layer is closed (by clicking or whatever). Revisiting should proceed to play normally.
oh - i think another reason i didn't do this is that quiz slides can't be put on layers (unless you create them freeform from scratch), and they also have multiple layers on their own due to the feedback, so it was easier to create them on separate slides.
Makes sense. Well, if set to play automatically what you had seemed to be working as you intended, after adding a couple of mising variable triggers to the question slides. Maybe if you can add a pause layer, it will work for you on RIse. You might have to try reinstalling SL if you continue to have problems with your file. What you posted seemed to work pretty well for me.
