Animation audio keeps playing when the next  slide appears

I am inserting several SWF files (short demos created in
Captivate, each with with audio and controls) into a Captivate
project as animation objects, each on it's own frame. The problem
is that when I move to the next frame without finishing or pausing
the animation on the previous slide, the audio keeps playing over
the audio on the current frame. It becomes cacaphonic when you mvoe
quickly through multiple frames. Is there some way I can stop/pause
the audio of the previous animation when you move to the next
animation frame?
Thanks!

Yes, there is. Do not insert animations (SWF)
containing their own built-in audio. If you do, the audio will
continue to play until it has completed, even if the user leaves
the slide on which the animation is inserted - but you knew that,
huh?
Sorry, couldn't resist stating the obvious, but I'm
sure you don't appreciate my sense of humor as much as I, so I'll
apologize once more. Sorry.
Seriously, when audio is contained (or "wrapped") in a shell
like another SWF file, you basically give up control of that audio
- because the PC's "focus" is on the main SWF - your Captivate
project. Instead, use the audio for the main project, either at
slide-level (preferred), or (second choice) at object-level, the
"object" being the inserted SWF.
Another possibility - which I haven't tried personally - is
to include, as a separate object in the inserted SWF, a "mute"
control that could be clicked before hitting the "Next" button.
Extra steps for the end user (and you), and it will require at
least a minimal knowledge of action-scripting (and a copy of
Flash), but it
might also work ... maybe ... perhaps.
Have a great day!

  • The next screen's audio starts playing when the current screens audio has finished

    So I've added audio to a few screens and on the first couple it works fine. I have added a mute button and that's all, I just want the audio to play to the end then stop on each screen. It does that perfectly on the first few screens and then at a certain point, when the audio for that screen has finished, it plays the audio for the next screen, and the next, and so on even though I haven't moved on. I can't work out why it's doing this! Sure someone can explain what I've done wrong. Using Captivate 8.0.1...

    I adjusted them on one screen and it      worked - you've solved my problem again -  Thank you!
    Is there a way I can make my audio files load up like this automatically?

  • Audio keeps playing when opening multiple new tabs from bookmarks folder

    Hi,
    Just wondering if anyone has noticed this behaviour in Safari and if its intentional or perhaps a bug.
    If I have a website open with some audio playing (like a youtube video etc...) and then open some new tabs from a bookmarks folder by choosing "Open in Tabs", the audio from the video in the previous tab will keep playing in the background. However, any tabs that were open before (including the one with the audio) seems to have been automatically closed when choosing the "Open in Tabs" option so there doesn't appear to be a way to stop the audio, other than closing Safari.

    You're welcome.
    Could you please click the "''Solved It''" button next to the post which solved the problem for you? This will help others searching for a solution to the same question.
    Thanks.

  • Hi, I have a macbook pro 2012 13 inch, everytime i go to watch a video (youtube/uni lectures) online (i use firefox), the video plays but if i go into another tab, the audio keeps playing, but the image on screen will be frozen. It gets really frustrating

    Hi,
    I have a macbook pro 2012 13 inch, which i use for uni and youtube etc. I use firefox for my web browsing, whenever I go to watch videos, from youtube or even uni lectures (for all my subjects) the video and audio play fine, but as soon as i switch into another tab, the audio continues to play whilst the video lags and stops all together, freezing on the current screen. The timestamp on the video players also stops, which gets incredibly frustrating when I am watching uni lectures, does anybody know how to fix this?? Please help.

    Which os version are you using? 
    Which Firefox version? 
    Have you posted in the Firefox forums or contacted their tech support for assistance? 
    Have you made sure you are using the latest version of Adobe Flash Player? 

  • FLV audio keeps playing when navigating to different frame or moveclip

    Hello
    Scenario is as follow :
    1. I have a swf contains a FLV paly back component playing a movie .I have used flash cs4 import movie tool to create it. Name of the files are >movie1.swf movie2.swf
    2. In the main movie I have a movie clip which loads the movie1.swf and it start playing .Now  user can move from move1 to movie2 by clicking a button
    However when I click to view second movie sound of the first movie is still playing .Even if I click to go back to movie1 another sound will be playing and a big mess.
    Methods I tried :
         removeChild didn't work.
         myLoader.unLoad() didn't work.
         SoundMixer.stopAll() stop all the sounds in the whole swf. Not a solution.
    Any solution to this?
    Should I write my own movie player for this .I found it real painful to use FLV playback component.
    I am really fed  up with this...!!!
    Thank you in advance

    The best solution for this is to force the user to stop the flv from playing .The best thing about this method is that , it is clean and I do not use SoundMixer.stopAll() which is not a good solution at all.
    Here is a simple way:
    I create movieclip callled flv1 and import FLVPlayback component on the flv1 ,I name it flvPlayer
    I add a button and name it close ,
    I create a movie clip  with a larg box in it and I add it to flv1 as a background.This background movie clip  stops access to any othe button and menues and user has to click close button only.In this case on close button I stop the flv and exit:
            flvPlayer.skin="SkinUnderAllNoFullNoCaption.swf";
         flvPlayer.source="http:.//www.example.com/video/flv_1.flv";
         flvPlayer.setSize(300,300);
         flvPlayer.play();     
         close_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK,closePlayer);
         function closePlayer(e:MouseEvent){
              flvPlayer.stop();//Here I stop it
              gotoAndPlay("exit");// here I exit
    No I can create flv2, 3, etc.. and load diffrent flv sources and using a menu I can go diffrent frame without that annoying sounds playing on background.
    Hope it is helpfull.

  • Background audio disappears when an interaction slide appears

    I have a (Captivate 6 produced) project which includes approx 40 slides and it looks to be running smoothly when published.
    However, I have imported a background music audio track which I want to play (and then loop) during the course of the whole course - however, whenever it reaches a slide which has an interaction on it, the music disappears and then returns when a non-interaction-based slide is reached.  Disappears again when the next slide is reached that contains an interaction, etc.
    I am unable to test in earlier versions of Captivate and so I am wondering whether this is an issue with this version of the program i.e. background audio disappears when an interaction slide is shown?

    We don't have the 6.1 update yet, but I did find a workaround for this (although it's not perfect).  With Captivate 6 there is now a "Play Audio" action that you can assign to the Slide Properties "On Enter" action.  When I did this, the narration continues to play even after the Flash interaction appears in the timeline.  So for any narrated slides that have Flash interactions, you need to:
    1) remove the Audio narration that is imported to the Slide (Audio > Remove > Slide from the menu bar)
    2) On the Slide Properties - On Enter action, select Play Audio, then select the appropriate narration file for that slide.
    This seemed to work -- the only problem is that if you use the "Play/Pause" button in the Adobe playback navigation bar, the button seems to get confused and changes to the Play state while the audio is still playing (instead of staying in the Pause state until the audio finishes as it does when the audio is imported to the Slide itself as narration).  Not sure how to fix that issue except to remove the Pause/Play button from the playbar and just use the Next/Back buttons.  And if you use navigation buttons instead of the Adobe playbar, you don't need to worry about this.
    Hope this helps!

  • Audio keeps playing even when move away from slide

    I am using Captivate 5 and have incorporated TTS voiceovers. I have an introduction slide where a voice gives the scenario, with back and next buttons. The Next button goes on to a demonstration (part of the same project) with a different voice narrating. The demo screens have a button to exit the demo at any time also. If a user is playing the scenario and selects the Back button, the second voice from the demo continues anyway, even though the demo hasn't displayed. By the same token, if you start working through the demo and exit from it using the button provided, the voice continues as if you play the rest of the demo, even if you have moved onto different slides. If you start a second demo, both voices play at the same time. I tried using the check box to turn off audio when button clicked, but that actually turns off the audio on the computer and either no audio is heard at all then, or it just turns off for that slide, then the next slide's audio plays, regardless of what screen is displayed. How do I make the audio stop if I exit the slide or slide sequence (project)?

    Thanks Ashwin
    I hope I have done this correctly, I have shared part of the Captivate project at https://acrobat.com/#d=wxfp*GeqGu-77HjzL1DHww
    If you navigate to slide 3 of 27. Answer the question. Then, as you read the success or failure caption, you will also hear audio associated with those captions. Now, navigate to the next page before the audio has completed playing and you will also hear the audio of slide 4 overlapping.
    The audio from the success /failure captions do not stop playing when moving to the next slide. I hope there is a way around this, as I really want to have audio with the success/failure captions as well as the page audio.
    thanks

  • HT4211 My audio apps keep playing in the background after I answer a phone call. How do I turn this off?

    My audio apps keep playing in the background after I answer a phone call. How do I turn this off?

    Hello BobWeaver,
    It sounds like we need to troubleshoot the software on your device as that is not expected behavior.
    I would perform steps 1, 3 and 5 from the iPhone Troubleshooting Assistant found here http://www.apple.com/support/iphone/assistant/phone/. If you get to step 3, then I suggest closing all the apps. Here is step 1 to get you started:
    Restart iPhone
    To restart iPhone, first turn iPhone off by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until a red slider appears. Slide your finger across the slider and iPhone will turn off after a few moments.
    Next, turn iPhone on by pressing and holding the Sleep/Wake button until the Apple logo appears.
    Is iPhone not responding? To reset iPhone, press and hold the Sleep/Wake button and the Home button at the same time for at least 10 seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    If your device does not turn on or displays a red battery icon, try recharging next.
    Cheers,
    Sterling

  • The video picture is hang but audio keeps playing

After that, the video is resume when instream ad complete.
    Thanks for helping!

  • Audio only plays when started from the beginning?

         Hi! I'm fairly new to flash, i'd consider myself a beginner, but recently i've been tasked with making an animation for someone! There is a song playing in the animation, it's a wav and it's on its own layer. There are also drawings i imported in too.
         My problem is, i want to be able to sync up the little drawings to the words of the song, but the audio only plays when i start at 0 on the timeline. If i were to start at let's say frame 24, it won't play. Does anyone know how to fix this? This commission needs to be finished by Wednesday and it's a S L O W process, having to start it over only to hear like one or two words later on

    change the sync property (in the properties panel after clicking the keyframe where your sound starts) from event to stream.  retest.

  • On slide No. 13 of my Keynote presentation, I have varous pictures that go through automatically just as I programmed them, but if I I want to get by clicking to the next slide , it does not let me. How can I program so when I want goes to next slide?

    On slide No. 13 of my Keynote presentation, I have varous pictures that go through automatically just as I programmed them, but if I I want to get by clicking to the next slide , it does not let me. How can I program so when I want goes to next slide?

    Keynote is programmed to execute all of the effects in a build sequence before it will move to the next slide.
    If you want tobe able to move to the next slide at any time in a sequence of builds, you will need to set all of the builds on that slide to:  "on click". You will then need to execute each build by pressing the space bar or click the left mouse button for each object.

    I have a problem with the external sound of my iPod, when I take the headphones the music keeps playing and the ipod recognizes still have a headset connected. how do I get external sound out?

    - Try insering and removing the headphone plug a dozen times or so.
    - Try cleaning out the headphone jack in the iPod.
    - Resett he iPod. Nothing is lost
    Reset iPod touch: Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restoe to factory defaults/new iPod
    If yu still have the problem that indicates a hardware problem, likely a bad headphone jack. Yu can make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store to confirm.
    If not underwarranty Apple will only exchange your iPod for a refurbished one for:
