block interactivity but keep left/right page change...?

May 1, 2012 8:34 AM

Hi all

 

I have an auto play video, and I'm trying to block the user from tapping to play / pause

 

I know it can be done with a pan and zoom overlay, but then this blocks the user from swiping left/right to change page

 

anyone know a way around this?

 

Tim

    or even does anyone know of a way to set a full screen pan and zoom so that when it's either active or un active you can slide to different pages?

    I prefer using MSOs or buttons for dummy overlays.

    I can't get the MSO to block the user from being able to stop/start the video

    I solved the issue by adding a button / to size to the multi state - thanks for the input Bob! I wouldn't have tried the button if you hadn't of said it!

    This works until you have a full screen video, the user can't tap anywhere to initiate the navigation bar at the top of the screen

     

    any ideas anyone?

    okay, so my solution so far has been to scrap the MSO and in the audio/video overlay creator - check "tap to view controller" then using an MSO at the bottom of the sreen to hide the controller so only the NAV BAR appears when the screen is tapped - this is a very sketchy work around and doesn't work very well for full screen videos

     

    please if someone could help or tell me about their similar situations / work arounds

     

    also I've found that my toll box for "media" that sits in the interactive menu, is blank? like there's nothing inside it... any ideas?
