Question

Prevent skipping video

I have looked in the forum and I have been unable to find an answer to this question...

I am using Captivate 9 and I am creating responsive projects.  My first slide is a static introductory slide that plays for 5 seconds, then advances automatically.  The second slide is a blank palette where I insert an mp4 video.  When inserting the video, I add it as a multi-slide synchronized video, and I adjust the duration of the slide to match the video.  Once the video completes, the lesson advances to a 10 question quiz.  I have the navigation bar along the bottom.  I want to prevent users from clicking the "next" button on the navigation bar to skip the video.  Is there a way to restrict actions on a specific slide, but not eliminate the navigation bar on the bottom?

    Out of the box in Captivate you can only hide the playbar on a slide, which you don't want (I almost never use the playbar but use custom navigation buttons or the TOC). The HTML widget CPExtra (not free, by InfoSemantics) would allow you to prevent scrubbing the progress bar (because not only Next button can be used to skip), it is probably also possible with JS (check with TLCMediaDesign on his blog).

    Thank you for the quick reply.  How do I hide the playbar on a single slide?

    Use the On Enter event of the slide, and trigger the command 'Hide Playbar'. You'll have to use the command 'Show Playbar' on the next slide On Enter.
