Using wordsearch interaction in Captivate 6

Question

Hi
I have inserted the wordsearch into my project using cap6. I have also added some instructions audio. When I preview the slide stops and doesn't play the audio. If I press play on the skin it plays the audio.
I want the audio to start automatically like the other slides is there somewhere I can do this?
thank you

Hi cocopops13,
I sometimes create my audio clips in Flash so that they are not affected by the Captivate timeline.  You can achieve this by:
Creating a FLA file, the main timeline being only 1 frame in length,
Import your audio clip (wav or mp3 etc) to the library
Create a movieclip that will contain your audio.  Call it whatever you like.
Add the audio file to the timeline of the movieclip you just created,
Extend the timeline of the movieclip so that it is long enough to play all of the audio clip.
Add a stop(); action to the last frame of the movieclip to prevent the audio file from replaying
Now, add that movie clip to the main timeline of your FLA (1 frame in length)
Export as SWF
Import the SWF as an animation to the first fame of the Captivate slide that contains the wordsearch and extend the duration to show for the rest of the slide.
The swf will only contain the audio file and no visuals, so it will be invisible in your Captivate project.
Hope that helps?
Cheers,
Andrew
