Hello there..

I work on Capt. 8. On my slide there is a video attached, also an event video and some other shape buttons that has an actions of opening an URLs. When these buttons are pressed, the URLs are opened on a new tab and the slide video is paused ( which I assigned ) but I can't control the event video itself. I want it to pause either... Is there a way of pausing the event video ( like the one in this situation ) by a shape button with some kind of an advanced action please??? Thanks...

Execute this JavaScript when clicking the button to open the URL, you'll have to do this in an advanced action to execute multiple actions.

document.getElementsByTagName("video")[0].pause();

Thanks....

There are 2 videos on my slide. One is already a slide video itself other one is an event. if I delete the event video and insert it as as a mult sync video, it replaces my 1st slide video, deletes the 1st one... Not a solution...

Any other ideas from others please????

Thanks for the reply but as mentioned before my slide has already a video attached. if I insert the event one as a multi-slide sync video, its gonna delete the slide video which I don't want it to happen.

Any other idea please???

Why not just delete the event video and insert it again as synchronized video from the Library.


No other idea, unless this is possible with JS.

An event video is playing independently of Captivate's controls.  If you want to control it, you have to insert it as multi-slide synchronized video.
