Disabling hotspots while video is playing?

[Tony_LaRocca]

In a frame, if the player clicks on a hotspot enough times, he gets treated to a video. Since i have to use scripting to count the times, I have to run the video with script. The only problem is that the hotspots of the frame are still visible (and clickable!) while the video is running! Is there any way to disable the hotspots while the video is playing?

Thanks

You can disable hotspots by using the following code:

Code: Select all

Hotspot(Hotspot_Number).Enabled = False

To enable it again, use

Code: Select all

Hotspot(Hotspot_Number).Enabled = True

If there is an image in your hotspot, and you want to make it transparent, use

Code: Select all

Action.LoadAPicture Hotspot(Hotspot_Number), ""

To load the image into the hotspot again, use

Code: Select all

Action.LoadAPicture Hotspot(Hotspot_number), "Image_Name.Extension"

I hope this helps

Thanks. Actually, I worked around it by creating a blank frame, had the video play in that, and returned to the previous frame a second after the video ended. But I appreciate the help and scripting knowledge!

That is the best solution in my opinion (let's make everything as simple as possible)
