Play/Pause status in Adobe Captivate

I'm new to Captivate software and looking for some help with it. What am I doing is Play/Pause widget in Flash and everything works fine until there is Pause After time setting on buttons or slides pause at the end of them. I spent lots of time trying to find out how to receive notification about changing play/pause status of the captivate course. Now I'm checking this status with 

playing = m_VariableHandle.rdcmndPause == 0;
//m_VariableHandle is movieHandle.getMovieProps().variablesHandle

code, but it only works if user clicks on playbar buttons or on my own button. But if slide pauses at the end or some button causes it to stop, then rdcmndPause is still 0.

So is there any way to check if movie is playing at any point of time? Or am I missing something?

Thanks in advance!

Solution

  • Well, after two more hours of digging I've found what I was looking for, I think. At least I've found a workaround and it works.

    In my widget I'm listening to enterFrame event and checking if rdinfoCurrentFrame property in variablesHandle is changed. If not the movie is paused. That's it. 

    if (m_VariableHandle)
{
    playing = m_VariableHandle.rdcmndPause == 0;
    if (playing && pFrame == m_VariableHandle.rdinfoCurrentFrame)
        playing = false;
    pFrame = m_VariableHandle.rdinfoCurrentFrame;
}
