Presenter audio quits playing
Aug 24, 2014
I have a 23 slide presentation. Some slides have .swf in them. After one of the .swfs plays in the slide, when I click the next button, the audio no longer plays.If I go back to previous slides where the audio plays, the audio does not play. Has anyone else had this problem? I am wondering if the .swf is too long or too big or something. If I don't go through the swf, but just land on the slide and click the next button, I will get the audio. It is only if I take the time to interact with the swf that the audio quits playing for the presentation.
I'm working in presenter 13.

Hi Tanis!
How did you add your file to your slide? This tutorial explains how you should add those flash files based on your expected outcome.
Thanks. I had the swf inserted to play automatically (as I do with the other swf files that don't effect the audio play on the next slides). This is a strange quirk and may be difficult to reduplicate, but here is what I discovered. My navigation is set to automatic except for on the slides where I have the swfs. Those slides the navigation is set to by user. I changed all of the slides to be "by user" and this made it so that the audio plays properly after going through the swf. It is only one of the .swf files that I am having issues with in terms of the audio.
When I have more time I may test to see if this is an actual bug where if the navigation is mixed and staying on a slide that is set to be by user for too long will impact the audio of the remaining slides.
The issue was that keyboard shortcuts were enabled and the .swf required the user to hit the spacebar, which is the shortcut to pause the timeline.
Thanks for the update Tanis and for sharing with the community
