Continuous background music in Storyline 360
I am creating a Storyline project that has multiple slides with Engage interactions. In Presenter I could add continuous music by making a Playlist. However, this option doesn't seem to be available...
Hi everyone!
Good news! I'm happy to share that we just released Storyline 360 (Build 3.81.31200.0), which includes a feature to control the background audio for each slide using triggers to play, pause, or stop the playlist.
This was highly requested, so we hope it serves you in your course creation! If you run into any snags, don't hesitate to contact our team in a support case.
I think it must be terribly difficult to write the code that would allow continuous background music in Articulate. It has been a request for years and it still hasn't "bubbled up" to the top of the request pile! Wow - that is unfortunately making this Storyline customers want a different solution! My simple course without narration sounds very clunky as the music restarts on every click. :-(
In fact its easy enough to do in Storyline as is with some Javascript.
Here you can see a sample.

- Replace the audiofile in the resources.
- Change the variable 'audioFile' into the name of your audiofile.And then all works.
Working sample added.
Kind regards,
MathKind thanks for your attempt to help. I see your example appears seemless yet I can't make all the leaps within the story file to connect the missing dots. I do appreciate the effort anyway!
Do share your course...and i will add the audio in it to work. And try to explain how to ;-)
Kind regards,
Math
