    Came across a comment on something saying that interactive videos are great for advertising on webpages. Is there something im missing but what, simply, is an interactive video?
    Sorry for being so dim!

    Say the presenter stops the sales pitch and points to the left, inviting the viewer to click an option. Then another video starts on the subtopic the user has selected.

    Or, in a video tutorial, a 'more...' baloon pops up when the user can delve in deeper content, then resume viewing from where he or she was.

    This is done with Flash, setting "cuepoints" that trigger actions. Hope this helps.
