Question

Make Audio Track Play Until Continue Button Clicked

Excuse the simpleminded question, but I'm new here and don't have much time to learn the ropes.

I have a short Captivate 2017 project with an .mp3 track that I want to have start playing at the third slide and continue into the fifth, where it would continue to play until a button is clicked to continue. At that point, the audio stops. The track is about three minutes and if the visitor can't decide whether they want to continue by then, the audio just ends and the slide waits for input. Make sense?

Really appreciate a fairly dumbed-down response. Still in diapers with Captivate.

Insert the audio as slide audio, and use the Audio Management dialog box to distribute it over the wanted slides.

Slide audio can only be stopped by the command "Assign cpCmndMute with 1' to be triggered by the Success event of your button.

Thanks for your response, Lilybiri. Think I grasp the first part, but I'm not finding an Action under the On Success: dropdown menu of cpCmndMute. I'm guessing I have to add that somewhere. The closest selection I can find is "Stop Triggered Audio". Not the same thing?

Thanks

No, Stop Triggered Audio has no effect on slide audio. Look at the

screenshot, command is Assign, then open drop down list to find the

variable cp CmndMute. In the last field ‘with, type 1.
