Hi Eric - In this demo, the video pauses when the slide layer opens. Slide layers have an option to pause the base layer timeline: https://community.articulate.com/articles/interactive-video-quizzes-storyline#PausingTheVideo If you want to pause the timeline with the buttons, you can add a Pause Media trigger to pause the video when the button is clicked. Does that help?

Thanks David, the trigger "when the button is clicked" is not the best solution for me. I prefer to pause when the button is displayed. I can add a trigger to pause when the timeline reaches a cuepoint (corresponding to the button is displayed) and that works. So I can click on the button to display the layer. Unfortunatly I cannot find a solution to resume the video when user quit the layer.

There's no way for a trigger on a slide layer to resume the base layer timeline. A usable solution is to move your buttons off the base layer and place each button on its own layer. Set the layer properties to pause base timeline. Leave the rest of your button triggers in place to show the layers as clicked. Now when you hide a slide layer, your base layer timeline will auto-resume as intended. The difference between pausing the base layer timeline from a trigger and showing a layer is that the layer version will auto-resume the timeline when the slide layer is closed. When a "pause timeline" trigger is used, you need a "resume timeline" trigger to resume. Does that make sense? Great question and a good tip to add in the video tutorials I'm putting together.

If absolutely have to resume the paused video on the base layer after closing a side-layer there's a workaround. First, setup a number variable, let's call it ChangeFlag. Add a trigger on the baseline: if ChangeFlag changes, play the video. Now, on the side-layer, before you close it, you need to adjust the ChangeFlag variable by adding one. Using a Storyline action (adjust variable) will not work because the baseline will not detect the change. The only way the baseline will detect the ChangeFlag change is if you can change that AFTER the sidelayer closed. How you can do that is put this JavaScript trigger on the sidelayer: player=GetPlayer(); setTimeout(function(){ player.SetVar("ChangeFlag",player.GetVar("ChangeFlag")+1); }, 500); This will add 1 to the ChangeFlag variabl...

Hi David... Thanks for the model! I'm in a job where I have to use the competing tool... One thing I've noticed is that whereas some projects like this are simple and straightforward in SL, it's just the opposite in C. It took me two days to build a model in C instead of an hour or two it would have taken in C. My hat's off to Arlyn and his team. You don't know what your missing until you're forced to deal with, well, mediocrity...
