Users controlling video in Captivate

[Guest]

Hi guys,
I need to include a video in captivate and from what I can see, it starts playing when I reach that particular slide. Will I be able to give users better control on the video, for example, a start/pause button, a replay button?

thanks
JT

Good morning JT

Assuming you are referring to a Flash Video here? If so, there are settings for Flash Video that offer a "Skin" (playback control). When you use a skin, normally the video is paused until your user clicks the Play button.

If you are referring instead to a Full Motion clip, you could use a Button or Click Box object to pause the slide.

Cheers... Rick

Hi Rick
The videos were supplied by a third party therefore they were alread in .swf format. I know how to assign a button to start playing the clip, but i cant figure out how to PAUSE. Any advice?

thanks

Hi again Rick,
Just to clarify, the Captivate playbar will be deactivated during playback due to client request.
