Thanks, Paul, your materials are very useful to me.

This video is super helpful! The reference to preview in HTML 5 is where I found that my slow down and speed up JavaScript was actually working.

At 5:14 "Change the State of" is greyed out and does not give me that option.

Is there a way to pause at a certain frame/time (not the slide timeline) of the animation On Enter? For instance lets say you have a fancy progress bar and would like it to stop at a certain percentage based on a variable...

Hi Paul i have a event video and i made this control with javascript and is awesome but also i want to show the remaining time of the video is there a way to do that with im currenttly trying a workaround is using a default timer widget and puting the time of the video but if the person pauses the timer keeps runing.... HELLP!!!

Great video. Do you know if you can use JS to change volume level and other video functionality?

[markelliot]

Any reason why my 'Change State of" action in advanced actions would be grayed out/dimmed? ty

Paul, your videos are a godsend for sure. I can understand the JavaScript play/pause, but what If we want to hide the next button until the video is viewed completely? I hate lockstep instruction, but that's what the client is requiring. So what call is made from the video object to tell captivate that the video has been played or does it simply go by the total frames of the slide? In this case, how would we activate or deactivate the NEXT/FORWARD Button. I think I'm approaching this in the wrong way, for after watching this video, I'm thinking I should add a OFF or DISABLED state to the normal FRWRD BTN (Smart object), for right now I'm using a show/hide of either the normal FRWRD_BTN or FRWRD_BTN_OFF, now I'm thinking is should "Change State of…" the one FRWRD_BTN to the DISABLED/OFF state instead, this may prevent some timing issues with the show/hide function I would think, but don't know. I just wish Adobe would be much clearer and complete in providing ALL the cpAPI calls that can be manipulated via JavaScript for I have yet to fond a comprehensive list of all objects/functions that can be utilized. THAT would be mighty helpful - if you know of a document, could you please post a link to it?
