Javascript for audio mute/unmute that previously worked is no longer working

Unfortunately, because the javascript for the player is now compiled differently, module ID's are no longer a path string ("helpers/appState"), but rather an integer (currently helpers/appState = 16 for the two update 36 versions so far, but that may change for each new Storyline version, when the included player code is recompiled).

Also the require function is no longer used in the same way (it's now __webpack_require__ but minified to a random letter, and it isn't a global function).

However, right now the player includes a global object - DS - which exposes many of the services of the player, including appState. That, of course, may also change again, without notice. But in update 36, and until something changes again:

DS.appState.onToggleVolume();

... should do the same thing (both for modern and classic players) - although I haven't tested it.

And, of course, for both update 36 and earlier versions, something like this:

// Use the global DS object if it exists, otherwise try require:
var appState = window.DS ? DS.appState : require("helpers/appState");
appState.onToggleVolume();

The underlying player code was changed in the latest update I suspect this code is no longer valid.

We are experiencing this issue as well. We use the Javascript Helen gives above to provide an option for screenreader users to mute the audio.

The Javascript has stopped working for the members of our team who updated to the latest version of Storyline last week. Those who didn't apply that update find the code still works when they publish to both Review and to SCORM.

Grateful for a solution to this.

Thank you.

Hi Jimmi, Thank you for this! I'm too new to Java to make this work on my own, so I appreciate  you doing this for all of us. 

That's great Jimmi. It makes perfectly sense, so let's hope they think twice before changing that one.

Hello,

I am not great with JavaScript, and this is my attempt at creating a custom player.

We needed the ability to jump back x seconds (I plan to make this a variable to adjust the time and update the button text quickly)  across multiple slides, and we wanted all the control in one place. The inbuilt player has buttons a bit scattered, and we can't add custom buttons.
The space in the player's middle is for the closed captions text, so it doesn't cover content on the slide.

I have managed to get all the code to keep its settings as we move from one slide to the next, except the mute button. If the user mutes, I want this to stay muted when we go to the next slide. Any help to solve this and tidy up my scripts would be greatly appreciated.

Feel free to use any of this code and set it up for yourselves as well :)

Quick question: can i still use the code written downstairs?

I use an numeric entry input to set a number and let this run after that.

/*Get player to reference*/

var player = GetPlayer();

/*get LMS API*/

var lmsAPI = parent;

/*set score; the first number is the score*/

lmsAPI.SetScore(player.GetVar("14543GameScore"), 100, 0);

/*set status; possible values: "completed","incomplete", "failed", "passed"*/

if (player.GetVar("14543GameScore")>= player.GetVar("14543PassingPercentage"))
{
SetStatus("passed");
}
else
{
SetStatus("failed");
}

did not work today :(

// Use the global DS object if it exists, otherwise try require:
var appState = window.DS ? DS.appState : require("helpers/appState");
appState.onToggleVolume();
