Background Music Across all Slides
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.

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.

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!

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?
Would you be able to give instructions?
Thanks,
Tom

Can you add the Story file that works with the newest version?

Here is a sample that does play audio in the background.

You might find this tutorial helpful as well that I did a while ago in Rise.

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!
