Question

Stopping Audio in movie within movie..?

hello,

If I create a captivate movie called XYZ, (series of slides, and/or full motion capture) add narration to it, publish it to swf format, and then create a new captivate movie called ABC which uses that swf on one of it's slides (i.e. a movie within a movie), how do I create buttons in ABC which will stop the audio of XYZ in case the learner wants to go to the next slide before XYZ finishes???

Also, why does a wav file created in Audacity, and normalized, sound distorted in captivate? Is there a way around it, besides lowering the volume of my Audacity wav file?
thank you
Mike

    You don't. You create controls for movie XYZ within movie XYZ.

    It doesn't - at least on all machines. Perhaps you are seeing the problem because of the file-format you are saving to (in Audacity). Can you describe what you mean by "sound distorted"? Your reference to lowering the volume indicates it is not necessarily being distorted, but being amplified excessively after import to Captivate . . .

    If that is the case, it seems to me that the simplest solution is exactly what you already suggested - lower the amplitude in Audacity . . .
