Slide Pause button does not pause .MP4 video

I have a button with an Advanced Action to Pause / Play the slide.

Question

Is there a method to Pause / Resume a slide which will include .MP4 functionality too?

Issue

Slide video does not pause using the Advanced Action method below:.

- Slide audio pauses

- Slide interactions pause

- But NOT slide video (.MP4)

Advanced Action contents:

IF cpCmndPause = 1

Assign cpCMndResume = 1

Else cpCmndPause = 1

- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -

Roughly translated this says:

If the movie is paused, resume it. Otherwise, pause now... but it doesn't.

Found the solution.

MP4 Video is NOT paused with the timeline because it has its OWN timeline.

Recode video to .F4V format and it now pauses with the slide.

If you use multi-slide synchronized video it will pause. Event video is separate from the Captivate timeline.

Sorry, but there is NOTHING that causes MP4 to pause other than the end user clicking a pause on some video controller.

If you need interactivity and pausing, MP4 is not for you.

My bad, I thought you were referring to a complete Captivate exported as MP4.

Heading for the coffee pot to get a better grip on things! LOL
