How can I stop and reset a background video in Webflow when a closing icon is selected?
To stop and reset a background video in Webflow when a closing icon is selected, you can follow these steps:
Add the closing icon: Insert a closing icon, such as an "X" or a close button, to your web page where you want it to be located. You can use an icon from Webflow's built-in icon library or upload your own custom icon.
Set up interactions: Select the closing icon element and go to the Interactions panel. Create a new interaction by clicking on the "+" button. Choose the trigger for the interaction, which in this case would be a click event on the closing icon.
Add an action: In the interaction settings, add a new action by clicking on the "+" button under the "Actions" section. Choose the action type as "Element Actions" and then select the background video element.
Stop the video: Within the selected action, choose the action type as "Stop." This will stop the background video from playing.
Reset the video: To reset the video and make it start from the beginning, add another action by clicking on the "+" button under the same "Actions" section. Choose the action type as "Element Actions" and select the background video element again.
Seek to start: Within this action, choose the action type as "Seek" and set the time to 0. This will seek the video to its starting point.
Preview and publish: Test the interaction by previewing your web page in Webflow's designer mode. If everything is working as expected, publish your site to make the changes live.
Now, when a user clicks on the closing icon, the background video will stop playing and reset to the beginning.
Additional Tips:
- You can customize the interaction further by adding animations or transitions to the closing icon or the video element itself.
- If you want to hide the video element completely when the closing icon is clicked, you can add another action to the interaction, such as changing the opacity to 0 or setting the display property to "none."
