Question

Pause video when hoovering over a button/object

Hi

I am using a slide video in my course and have several hotspots.

I would like that when the user hoovers over a button the slide video will stop and a box will show for the user to decide if he wants to read more about the part in the video or move on. When the user moves out from the button I would like the video to continue playing. 

Any suggestions for a soulition?

Thank you

    Hovering is not an event in Captivate, so it cannot trigger any action like you want. That was possible in the past using a feature which disappeared with the Flash Player. Why not use a click on the button and offer the choice at that moment?

    You could create an extra event with JS. Personally I'd use the CpExtra widget (InfoSemantics) to create such an event:

    I am reading about the Cp Extra as we speak so will take a look at that: )

    That widget could be the best investment to enhance Captivate you ever make! Believe me, I will never recommend something I didn't check out completely.
