Pause video when hoovering over a button/object

[mysk83]

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.

It do seem to be a must have yes 🙂

I got the rollover to work using the example u linked to

But if I would like to hide the same object on roll out? Do I need to call on another action then?

Yes you need to add another event listener to listen for the rollout event.

I have this now but its not working for me.

I have two buttons on the first slide. One with advanced action for show and one with action for hide.
Only show are working as it is now.
