Question

Adding Audio to a Button in Adobe Captivate 5

Hello;

I'm having issues with my audio button. I have audio that is imported to a slide and I have audio imported to a button which I want to play only when a user clicks it and then stops when the button is clicked again. Currently the button's audio just keeps playing as soon as the button appears in the slide. I've tried a number of different things and nothing is changing it from doing this. Please help!

Thanks

Welcome to our community

You have to think in terms of when an object appears. If you assiged audio to the Button, it plays when the Button appears. So if you want audio to only play when the button is clicked, you need to either assign Go to the next slide as the action and assign the audio to the next slide, or enable the Success caption for the Button and assign the audio to the caption. If you only want to hear the audio and not see the caption, configure it with no text and using the Transparent type.

Cheers... Rick

Have the same situation, so jumping in on this thread. Thanks so much.

I have main audio on the slide, and want to play supplementary audio when a button is clicked. Prefer not to send to another slide, as there are no graphics associated with the audio.

I enabled the Success caption and the audio plays. But it needs also to PAUSE the main audio and timeline while the secondary audio is playing. Now they play concurrently.

Suggestions?

Cp 6.0 has audio actions:

Play Audio

Adobe Captivate plays the audio assigned to the interactive object. The audio plays until users click another interactive object, or navigate away from the slide. If users do not interact, the audio plays only for the duration of the specified audio file and does not loop.

Before the audio ends, if users click another interactive object with audio, the second audio file begins to play.

Note: If you use multiple Play Audio actions in Advanced Actions, only the audio corresponding to the first Play Audio action is played.

Stop Triggered Audio

Adobe Captivate stops the latest audio that was triggered by the Play Audio action.
