Question

Button layer over YouTube video gets hidden

Hello all. I'm developing an interactive video sequence with stopping points in youtube delivered videos, with a button option layered on top of the YouTube widget. Unfortunately when it plays the YouTube widget hides the buttons. Any suggestions on how to keep the buttons active and on top layer once YouTube video is initiated?

Thanks! Kim

The YouTube widget will always sit on top.  That's the way it's designed to work.

Place your button somewhere on screen where the widget cannot cover it.

Thanks, Rod. I am wanting to develop a full screen video interactive experience. The one hurdle I have is that the videos need to have closed captioning option to turn on/off, so loading the videos to youtube makes that easy, but I want the buttons to be a layer that comes in over the video at pause points. Any suggestions on how to use Captivate to create a full screen interactive video experience with pause points, tree branching navigation with closed caption videos. would be appreciated.

I think your best bet is the create an html page with html5 video and vtt closed captions. Place your buttons there in the html file. Zip and import as a web object.

I'm fairly certain that when a video goes full screen, nothing will be on top though.
