I am building a course where I have a .mp3 file that I would like to play across all of the slides in the course. Is there a way to make this work? Please advise.
Hey Jackson, that is a really smart solution! I'm confused though because I can't find how you stored the .mp3 file in the .story file? Is it the web object in scene 8?
Jackson's example uses a WebObject to load in external HTML markup in scene 8. While the file referenced is missing, I imagine it's using an external audio player like JWPlayer or FloPlayer
HTML5 supports the AUDIO tag for MP3 and OGG audio files if that's an option. The catch - you'd add this markup to the published course.
Thanks for sharing this AMAZING resource, Owen! I love how you broke it down so it's easy to follow along. I know you made this a while back, but I still want to say, nice work! 😊
Hey Owen, you have no idea how many times I lost my mind to have some background music in my projects! Your tutorial is simply great! Thank you so much!

I'm not sure why the attachment is not loading!
Hi Audrey
Please see the attached .story file. I added the Javascript triggers and a new variable that should allow the music to play throughout the course.
Let me know if you run into any more issues!

Would you be able to give instructions?
Thanks,

Can you add the Story file that works with the newest version?
Here is a sample that does play audio in the background.

The storyline file added.

This is an awesome example! Thanks for sharing Math!
You might find this tutorial helpful as well that I did a while ago in Rise.
