Question

Pausing Audio When there's several multi state buttons with audio

Hi,

I have 3 multi state buttons on one slide.

And for each button - there is audio attached to the 4 custom states. 

When the learner is done with button one and goes to button two - they cycle through the states and hear that button's audio.

But what if they click back on the first button now...both audio clips will be playing at the same time.

I'd like to stop the audio from the current button if the student clicks another button.  I tried stopped triggered audio in my advanced action but that didn't work.

Any help would be much appreciated!


Thanks,

Denise

    Not an easy solution, I wonder if you did see this blog post:

    Pausing Captivate's Timeline - Captivate blog

    The only audio clip that will automatically be stopped when another clip starts is an audio clip triggered by the command 'Play Audio'. If you attach audio to a state in a multistate object, that is in reality 'object audio' which will not be stopped when another clip is started. The command 'Stop Triggered Audio' only works for audio clips started with  'Play Audio'.

    I have an idea how to solve it , but want to explore it first and have to travel in a couple of hours, it will not be soon.

    Hi Lilybiri,

    Thanks, I will wait for your response.

    PS - using the multi state button in my project was inspired after

    attending your webinar last week!

    I didn't deliver any webinar, maybe you are pointing to Pooja's webinar, where I helped to answer questions?

    Sorry, I am on the road, only back home tomorrow evening. My apologies, see that no one else has popped in yet.
