Hi Ned, after many failed attempts at the Web Object option I gave up and tried the Resources option instead, (even though it's not ideal that a user can click on it) and I'm delighted to report that it worked! This is such a breakthrough as it has been a major headache for me, thank you!
Thanks also Math for the tip, I wasn't quite sure how to do this so as another workaround I edited the text label for the Resources tab so that it's now blank and shows as invisible on the player. Technically the learner could still find it and click on it but if they do I doff my cap to them!
I needed to stop the audio for my final few slides as these are quiz slides and I found the music distracting so I managed to add a pause audio JS at the appropriate point. For the volume issue unfortunately your custom button option wouldn't work for me as this music is played underneath a voiceover so I need the volume to decrease automatically when it plays. I noticed in Owen's tutorial that he set the starting audio volume to 50% as follows:
audio.volume = 0.5;
I played around with the number and found that 0.07 works great for what I need so I adjusted that also. I can't thank you enough for your help and for taking the fear of JS away!
Hopefully Articulate will add the play audio across the entire project functionality at some point to save having to figure out all these workarounds.
Thanks again!
Hi Mary,
I am glad you managed to get everything working okay and I like the workround of making the label invisible. What the user can't see, the user is unlikely to go looking for !
I realised that the volume button wouldn't suit your needs, but I thought that, as you have done, you would figure out that you could use javascript to simply set the volume level you required whenever you needed to.
I agree, play audio across the entire project would be a great addition to Storyline if it saved the designer having to enter the javascript every time.
