Delay Init until Video Loaded

[Mar]

Is there a way to delay the animations in my ad until after my initial autoplay video has loaded?

I tried this code:

//Event handler
gwd.actions.events.addHandler('gwd-video_1', 'canplay', gwd.auto_Gwd_video_1Waiting, false);

/Fnc
gwd.auto_Gwd_video_1Waiting = function(event) {
// GWD Predefined Function
gwd.actions.gwdDoubleclick.initAd('gwd-ad');
};

But my text animation starts then the video plays. Is there a way to wait for the video??

Thanks!

Do you want the animation to play once the video starts, or after its finished playing back?

I would like the animation to start once the video starts, so they play/start simultaneously.

If you're using the GWD video component, you should be able to add an event to the video element. Right click, add event, and it should show option for "Video" as well as the usual Mouse and Touch. If you select option "Playing" to bind the event to, then under Action target your animation with "Timeline" (has options like "goToAndPlay") or custom code, I believe that should load it when the video starts playing. Haven't tested it, so I'm not 100% sure, but worth a shot

Oh, that's a great idea. I had not thought of that. I will try it and see what happens.

That seemed to do the trick. Not sure how it behaves on mobile, but thank you so much!
