Is There Anyway to have a Playbar on Media when Gloabal Playback Control is Turned Off?

I am adding video (media) to my project and I want the user to be able to have the video controls  (play, pause, etc.) available. However, I don't want them available for the entire project as there is branching that needs to be recognized.  If I turn on the control just for that slide, the playbar still controls the entire project (the slider can be dragged past the current movie).

I am surprised that there doesn't appear to be any easy solution for this. Does anyone have the way to do it or at least an acceptable workaround?

Thanks.

    If you do insert the video, not as slide video, it gets its own playbar. Is that not what you want? Which version of Captivate do you use?

    That's exactly what I want. I am inserting the video by clicking the Media icon. I think it is going in as a slide video. How should I insert it so it's not a slide video? I am using Cp 6.

    Thanks.

    OK, I found the option...it needs to be inserted as an "event video". Then you get the playbar and a choice of skins.

    Thanks Lily...you have been a great help.
