Is there a way to add my own custom volume control as opposed to using the one in the player? I'm doing all my own custom buttons and nav for a new project so I'd like to "claim" the bottom space that that volume indicator requires in the player. I'm guessing probably not, or maybe eventually with the SDK, but I thought I'd ask.

There is no way to do this. I just turn it off. If people want to adjust volume they can use the volume controls on their computer.

This is an example of Storyline 2 audio controls (Flash and HTML5). The controls contain Mute, Volume change (via slider), rewind audio to the beginning, Play/Pause toggle, audio progress indicator and Closed Captions for good measure. Its an old post, but maybe some might still find this useful. I built on an existing Steve Flowers flash file, but changed the direction of the communication with the Flash file (Javascript calls the flash function). It is tested in IE Edge (Flash and HTML5) , Win Chrome (HTML5) , iOS and Mac Safari (HTML5), Pixel Chrome (HTML5) so far. Live example: https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/7158763/HTML%20and%20SWF%20Volume%20Controls%20-%20Storyline%20output/story.html *.STORY and *.FLA attached to this post.

I just decided to try and do the same thing (all custom nav) and realized that the volume button is still taking up all that space. I assume by the fact that there have been no other posts on this thread since May... that no one has come up with anything?

It would be great if articulate could make customized audio controls a new feature.

Hi Cassidy, There isn't a way to remove the player audio control and place it within a part of the slide or another part of the player. There have been a few custom examples shared on how to create an audio toggle button and that set up may assist you such as this example.

This would make a great feature request.

At least to be able to publish with the volume maximized. I think once published the audio is at a lesser % than 100. I could be wrong, but the volume bar isn't at the very top when the volume selector is there.

I created a SWF file with which you can load external SWF files. With this SWF you can adjust the volume of the loaded SWf files.

It would be great if I could trace/read the volume setting of the Storyline player so I can use that also for the loaded SWF files.

Can somebody help me with that maybe?

Hi Allison,

Great idea and thanks for sharing here! You'll also want to make sure (if you didn't already) that you've shared some detailed thoughts here in the form of a feature request as those go to our product development team for review as they think about and plan for new features and versions of Storyline.

I'd asked the same question earlier today in a different post, and I'm very surprised that Storyline is so limited in it's ability to easily customize such basic features like volume control, or menu display. Although many basic controls can be assigned to custom buttons, there doesn't seem to be a trigger for volume control (or for displaying/hiding the menu). You should be able to assign any trigger to any Storyline control feature/function, that way be able to have a customized button/hotspot for it. I'm with you Allison---would be great to be able to customize those without having to recreate them.

Steve, Isn't there a problem with relying on a widget works only with Flash output in terms of devices/software that doesn't support Flash? Aren't there any other more generic widgets or add-ons for customizable controls (such as volume/vcr controls)?

All of this would be less of an issue if Storyline allowed you to fully customize the layout/size/position of any of their default controls---seems like such a basic idea.

I'll add my two cents as a feature request (thanks for the suggestion Ashley).

Would be awesome, though, especially with sliders now available...

Hi, Here is a custom example: http://www.rhdaustralia.org.au/professional-development/rhd-australia-education-package/module-1

But this could just be an imported flash component so once again it 's not very satisfactory, you really would want html5 compatible audio controls and progress sliders available for multiple audio files on individual slides...
