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.

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 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.

Hello Gerry,
I know this is a very old question, but I think found a solution when I was struggling to achive this functionality, hope this might help some one else with the same requirement. Please have a look a it Volume control for both HTLM5 and Flash
Thanks Godwin and we love to see more examples, but I did want to note that you shared a link to a course hosted on Google Drive, and they're going to stop supporting hosting come mid August so you may want to look at one of the other hosting options here.

Hi Godwin
I cant seem to get your solution to work. Would you be able to attach the storyline template?
Hi Stephen!
Hopefully Godwin is still subscribed here, but you may want to reach out via the 'Contact Me' option on the user profile if you do not hear back soon :)

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.

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.
