Question

Continuous music over a group of slides?

I posted this in general, but figured it is better suited here. I will mark both as "Answered" when I hear back on one. Thanks!

I have a software simulation embedded in a project (via copying over all the slides from the simulation to the project). I want background music to play continuously throughout the entire simulation, no matter how fast the user navigates through the slides.

Is it possible to:


A) Set up continuous music to play over a group of slides that use a click box to advance

or

B) Use background music in my simulation, publish it, and then somehow import the simulation into my project as one item?

Thanks in advance, any help is greatly appreciated!

**Update** Note that the type of software simulation is training, so a user action is required to advance the slide.

I know of the import audio options to cross multiple slides, but this seems to break it down into maximum slide length, and the music will stop if a user is on the slide for more than 3 seconds, or jump if less than 3 seconds.

Hi,

Please find my response below --

A) Set up continuous music to play over a group of slides that use a click box to advance

If you wan to import the audio as background for the project, you can do so, from Audio -- Import to Backgorund. For recording, you can record to several slides as well. Even with the click box in place the audio should not halt irrespective of the time spend on the slide, simply go to Audio properties and Loop the audio file present.


B) Use background music in my simulation, publish it, and then somehow import the simulation into my project as one item?

If you are looking to import your Captivate's published output as an object in a New Project, I would certainly not recommend it for a simple reason, it might give you the option to import a Flash (SWF) which is also the published format, but a simple flash object is unlike the one produce from Captivate as it ios a procesed flash with a complex structure and design. If you simply wish to make the simulation a part in another project, you can use aggregator to cumulate your published SWF into a single project.

Let me know if you have any queries.

Thanks,
