Trigger action upon completion of media playback?

This is one of those areas where Storyline does win.  Captivate doesn't currently have any event that fires on completion of a video or audio file that you can use to trigger an action.  So if you were accustomed to using those events that later versions of Storyline provides for this purpose, then you will be disappointed.

If you happen to be a JavaScript coder, then you can certainly create your own event listeners to detect the end of the video playback and then trigger something to happen (e.g. play the next video).   But in Captivate the best way to get more control over what happens when a video completes is to insert that video on its own slide as a Multi-Slide Synchronized Video and then the video timeline will be locked to the slide timeline.  This gives you the option of using the Slide End event to trigger a jump to another slide where the next video can be played.  But with slide synchronized videos you can only ever have one video per slide.

Hey, 

Couple of questions.  Are you embedding or inserting the videos into the page (project) ? What type of actions do you want to occur when the video completes? Do you need  the project to be responsive or is it fixed?  What version of Captivate are you using, and finally how good are you at Javascript?

There is no simple solution to a complex multiple video show/hide sequence, but there are several work-around options. You just need to be more specific. 

Cheers,
