Custom Volume Control?
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.
Thanks Mark for sharing here.

I just want a MUTE audio button... ie set the volume to 0... surely this is possible?

it is with placing the audio on a layer... and using PAUSE Media as a trigger button.

Lance, so this resolves the issue for you? Seems like this would work in situations where the audio is not synced with some sort of animation or video, otherwise the audio would become out of sync with everything else.
I'd agree with Brian's thoughts in regards to slide syncing, but glad you were able to find a method that worked for you.

Hello, is there a way to move the audio control on the player? I have made all my own controls and closed captioning and the only control I can't make is the audio. However, it seems silly to have the whole player active for just the volume control. So is there a way to move the player audio control to another part of the player or slide?

Hi Godwin
I cant seem to get your solution to work. Would you be able to attach the storyline template?

I agree with Lance. If you're just looking for play/pause audio, just disable all the player controls and create your own pause button. The way I do it is via a pause button on the main layer (or master, now that buttons work on masters... when did that happen?) Trigger the pause button to show a pause layer, which has the setting to stop the timeline of the base layer and a Play button "on top" of the pause button, which is triggered to hide the layer. Audio resumes.
