This page / section pertains to **BrightAuthor Classic**, our legacy app. **BrightSign Author **is our latest app for managing content and players.

Development of BrightAuthor Classic has largely ceased and the app will eventually be deprecated and replaced with BrightSign Author.
:::

When you create an interactive playlist In BrightAuthor Classic, you choose what inputs to accept. By default, all inputs are ignored until you add them to your interactive playlist. The following example creates a simple interactive playlist that plays an *Attract.mpg* video until button 0 is pressed, then it plays an *Interact.mpg* video.

# Example

::::WorkflowBlock
:::WorkflowBlockItem
Add two videos to the Interactive playlist.
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Draw a connection from *Attract.mpg* to *Interact.mpg* using GPIO button 0. Then, add a Media End event so that the *Attract.mpg* video plays when the *Interact.mpg* video is finished. This example only accepts outside input when the *Attract.mpg* video plays and the GPIO button zero is ignored when the *Interact.mpg* video is playing.

:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
To accept button zero input during the *Interact.mpg* video, and have that input immediately take us back to *Attract.mpg*, draw a connection from *Interact.mpg *to *Attract.mpg* state using GPIO button 0. Pushing button 0 will now take you back to the attract video.

:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Delete the GPIO button zero event currently goes back to the *Attract.mpg* video. 
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Click on the **Events** tab under **Media Library**. Then drag the GPIO event onto the Interactive video. 
:::

:::WorkflowBlockItem
Choose **Transition to New State** and select the *Interact.mpg* video from the dropdown list. Now, pushing button 0 restarts the *Interact.mpg* video instead of taking you back to the *Attract.mpg* video.
