Question

How to Pause Slide Audio When Widget is Clicked

I have an accordion widget on slide that has audio attached to each section when it is clicked. There is a brief bit of slide audio to introduce the widget, but if the widget is clicked before the slide audio is finished, the two audio files play at the same time.

How to make the slide audio stop when the user clicks on the accordion widget? There aren't many configurable options for this widget, audio in particular.

I've tried creating transparent buttons over the widget, with advanced actions to stop the triggered audio; I've even attached the slide audio to an invisible smart shape to be hidden upon clicking a transparent button.

Any thoughts?

    Can you elaborate on how you were able to attach and trigger audio to the accordion interaction?

    @BDuckWorks Each tab in the Accordian interaction allows to insert audio, image and text. Pretty simple.

    However it is much less simple to stop the slide-audio. This is static widget, there is not real click event which could trigger an action.

    Maybe the approach I explained recently for a D&D slide would work, but it has to be tested (no time at this moment) more specifically for HTML output. For SWF output you can cover the Accordion widget with a click box. That way you have a click event. The attached command can be 'Pause', and in the Options tab the option 'Stop Slide audio' can be activated.

    Another interactive object will be needed to allow either to have the slide audio continuing or to go to the next slide.

    Thanks for the response.

    I did place a click box over the Widget to allow for an action to pause the slide audio. This worked, but after the first click, the clickbox remains so that the Widget can't be clicked. I tried an advance aciton to "pause the slide" and "hide the click box", but this didn't work.

    I have an additional continue button on the slide, so continuing on after the slide pause is not an issue.
