I created a software simulation for one of our websites. I recorded sound seperately into Storyline. Is there a way to have one button control both the sound on the slide and the simulation? I want the user to be able to pause and play the entire slide if he/she needs to. Thanks for your help!!
If you go into the Player settings for the Storyline project and check off "Seekbar" under the "Controls" area, it will add a seekbar at the bottom of the slide that has a Pause/Play button on it. When you press this Pause button it will pause the slide and the sound. Let me know if this solution works.
If not, it's possible to create your own Pause/Play button using various triggers, it will just require a little more effort than the abovementioned solution. Let me know!
Thanks! I've always hated the seekbar because it's so distracting but it worked in this case. To avoid the distraction, I made the entire bar black so that it blended right into my black player and all you could see were the two buttons!
Hi Lauren, I have come across your solution whilst looking to create a sound control bar. This is great thank you. I just have an added question to this, is there a possibility to set the Seekbar up so that I can drag the sound forward or drag it back to listen to a certain part if the audio?
I'm not certain that Lauren is still subscribed to this thread - but if I understand your question and set up, using the seekbar will allow you to jump around the slide to where you've clicked and will control the audio and anything else on the slide. You wouldn't be able to separate these elements using the built in seekbar.

That's a really great idea, Lauren! Love it when people think outside the box. Glad it's worked out for you
great solution Lauren! Thank you!
