background music in Storyline

@ Christine,

1st. Thank you for your post. 

2nd. There seems to be 2 parts to Kenny's post = 2a. & 2b.

It appears that you have supplied the code for 2b. but we are still missing 2a.

The line of code(2a.) for which I need to look for, in order to place code (2b.)  Yes? 

Welcome to the community, Ian!

Here's his entire post (I modified it again, so hopefully it will all show up):

Step to add background music:

1. Publish your story first

2. In the output folder, open story.html with notepad and edit the HTML code as below:

    2a. First, find the coding -

    2b. Add new coding underneath as follows:

    2c. Change the  "yourmusicfile.mp3" to your mp3 file name

3. Save the story.html

I hope this helps :)

Have a great day!

Christine

@Christine,

Thank you for this coding.  I have a question though - where do you place the "yourmusicfile.mp3" ?  I tried placing it in the root directory as well as the story_content folder, but neither seem to be working.

Any help would be GREATLY appreciated!

Hi Debbie. Welcome to the community!

I'm afraid I did not write that code, or the directions. I was simply modifying it, because the original code with the proper placement of the <>, etc, wouldn't allow the forums to display the content. 

You may want to try contacting Kenny, who posted the original code earlier, or maybe one of the community member's that have used this successfully can give you some advice :)

Thanks!

@Kenny,

The music file has to be saved in the same folder as the story.html folder. The way the code is written, the file is looking for a audio file in the same folder as the html file.

@Jerson

That's what I assumed from the code, but it is not recognizing/playing the file.  I have ensured that the name of the file is the exact name of the one in the code.

Yes, this didnt work for me either. Any other suggestions?

Hi John and welcome to Heroes!

I'm not certain that Debbie or Jerson subscribed to this thread, so you may want to PM them for specific help on this. Otherwise, if you need anything else, let us know! 

Hi All,

I have NO experience working with code and I would like to have background music play throughout the module. I tried to open the Story.html file in Notepad but it just plays the module...what am I doing wrong?

Thanks,

Marie
