Javascript to MUTE audio?

Hi, Phoebe -

Here it is in version CS4.

Awesome - you are indeed a Super Hero!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Steve, does your toggler work for audio in a layer, and if the variables are assigned to a marker?

The toggler is a global effector. So it'll mute everything everywhere, even if a layer. Variables are also global, so you should be able to toggle these from anywhere as well.

Hello everyone!

I was super excited to find this post because I was having the exact same issue. The only problem is that I discovered that now that I have added the togglemute widget to my project, the restart buttons no longer work. I confirmed that it is in fact the widget that makes them not work anymore, since when I deleted it they worked once again.

My restart buttons are "home made" from images with "hover" and "down" states, and a "jump to" trigger leading the to current slide. This is the only solution I have found for a custom restart button, as the only available "restart" trigger is "restart course" and not "restart slide."

Are any of you having this same problem? I have not been able to find a solution yet, so if you have any ideas they would be much appreciated!

Thanks,

Allison

That's a strange symptom. Do you have an example you can post? Would love to have a look.

Hi,

I just observed that this flash-javaScript workaround doesn't work on Firefox or Chrome. It only works on IE. I downloaded the muteToggler attachment from this thread and published it and noticed that it only works on IE. Following are the details.

Storyline version used to publish:Update 3: 1305.2012

IE 8 + Flash Player 11.8.800.94  (works fine)

FF v23.0.1 + Flash Player 11.8.800.97 (doesn't work)

Chrome v29.0.1547.66 + Flash Player 11.8.800.97 (doesn't work)

Has anybody experienced same issue?

Thanks in advance

Hey MK - are you running these locally or from a remote host? Sounds like the Flash Player Security Sandbox could be playing its hand.

Hi Steve, yes its working fine on all the browsers when run from a remote host.

Thanks for the input. It helped.

Thanks
