Question

Display a video by clicking on a button

Hello everyone,
I have a question about Captivate. Is it possible, since Captivate 9, to create a button that has the action of displaying a video, and thus to stop in the background my slide.

I would like that at any moment, my user could "close" this video to return to the slide. I tried with advanced actions, but it does not work well.

Thank you in advance !

You have two ways of inserting a video: event video has its own control panel, you can show/hide it and it playse totally independent of Captivate; If you create a button that pauses the slide and shows the video, the user will have to click on the Play button of that control panel. You'll need another button (or create a toggle button) to hide the video and have the slide resuming to continue.

Is that an acceptable work flow? You cannot use multisynchronized video, which is controlled by Captivate.
