Remove Sound Icon/Volume Control from any slide

Hi Reena,

Thanks! I saw you pop into a few other discussions sharing the published output as well. I'd love if you could share the steps you went through and a copy of your .story file (the file prior to publish) for folks who are looking to replicate your work.

Thanks for contributing to the community! 

Hi Ashley,

I have updated the code in frame.xml, nothing do in .story file.

Ah, thanks Reena! Even more need for an explanation if you can then - as I suspect a number of community users may not know where to update that code and it's not something I can help with. 

Hello.

I've been trying to find a way to remove the volume controls from a module after it's been exported (without needing access to the source file). I've found the easiest way to do this for both the HTML and HTML5 exports, and mentioned them below (as this topic didn't help me fully):

HTML/Flash export

Open frame.xml, do a lookup/replace for the following (it's listed 8 times):

<control name="volume" enabled="true" />

Replace with

<control name="volume" enabled="false" />

HTML5

Open story_html5.html, and around line 55 remove the following code:

<div id="control-volume" class="controlbar-button compact"><a class="icon volume half"></a></div>

Hope it helps someone else in the future. 

Thanks Chris - always helpful to have those examples for folks looking to do something outside the norm. Can you let us know what version of Storyline you're working with too? 

Awesome, thanks for letting us know and sharing! 

Ok, This volume button request just came up for me today with our client. However, I cannot ask them to edit their project code. (they only want to use built-in features).

I've seen this request come up over several years so I'll ask a dumb question - Why isn't the Volume button one of the items you can simply "Check" on or off in the Player setup?

Can you get the programming team to add that feature Ashley?

Hey Bob,

Let us know if what Chris is suggesting works for you - I'm not sure which version of Storyline you're using, but you can find the player features detailed here for Storyline 3 (will be similar to Storyline 360). 

Sorry, guess I should have been clearer. The setting DOES NOT exist for the Player features settings "Custom for the selected slides", which was the topic of the discussion. "Remove Sound Icon/Volume Control from any slide"

The "Player" setting is completely different than the individual "Slide Properties" settings. See attached for reference. There should be a check box on that dialog box to turn the Volume slider "OFF" for individual slides. All the other main player options are there to turn on and off, why not the Volume control?

Its baffling why it was never programmed. That's the option that should be turned in as Feature Request - Volume checkbox on the Slide Properties panel under Player features. I guess I'll write one up today.

To answer your question Ashley, as noted in my pervious comment I cannot ask my client to edit any published code. We're teaching them to use Storyline but everything they do needs to be an option inside of the Storyline interface. No custom work outside the program.

Ashley, Feature request turned in!
