CP5 audio playing on wrong slide

I have an image on the first slide with no audio. The rest of the project consists of imported swf files with audio in the swf (one per slide). For some reason the audio from the swf on slide 8 starts playing when slide 1 comes up. I deleted slide 8 and that fixed it. As soon as I re-imported the swf and created a new slide 8, the problem came back. I forced re-published the project after deleting all the previous files from the publish folder. Any idea as to what might be causing the problem? This one has me stumped.
Thanks,
Jeff

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Support.
Did you try to import that 8th slide .swf on a blank project (On the 2nd slide) and try to reproduce the issue ?
If issue reproduces, possibly a .swf specific issue.
Thanks,
Vikram

  • Captivate 5: Audio plays on next slide and it shouldn't

    I have a quiz set up that asks students to match audio clips with the musical score that correctly notates the audio. The audio clips are all self-contained SWF movies that I created with 2 slides: the first has a play button; the second has a stop button and the audio file. In this way, students can toggle the audio on or off. Some quiz screens (Matching) have 3 audio files; others (Multiple choice) have 1. Between each quiz screen is a Review screen; if the student got the answer to a quiz question wrong, they are automatically taken to the Review screen where they are shown what their answer was and the correct answer was to the question. The Review screen looks exactly like the quiz question in that I copied background, audio SWF(s), notation graphics, etc from the quiz question, and then also display the correct answer. It doesn't use one of Captivate's built-in quiz screens, but it's mocked up to look like the preceding quiz screen.
    My problem is that on the Review screens, if I play then stop an audio SWF, and then click Continue to move on to the next quiz question, that audio file plays unbidden on the next screen. I can then play the audio on that quiz screen and it competes with the audio from the previous screen that shouldn't be playing. I cannot stop the audio from the preceding screen; I can only wait it out. All the audio SWFs are set up on the timeline to last exactly 3.0 seconds, just like every other element on each screen including the Continue button. The problem does not seem to happen on the screens that use a built-in Captivate quiz screen. Can anyone give any insight into why this is happening and what I can do to fix it? I'd be happy to post my Captivate file for anyone willing to help.
    Thanks!

  • How do I get audio from mp4 video to stop playing on other slides? URGENT

    I have imported an mp4 video into my Captivate file, and it plays well. But when I get to slides after that one, the audio from the video file repeats on several other slides. How do I get this ugly behavior to stop?
    I don't want to unsync the audio and video because it could get out of sync on playback.
    Please advise ASAP. I am supposed to be handing this in tomorrow and have spent countless hours doing workarounds on this project already...
    Thank you very much for any help you can give me.
    Ellen

    Hello Ellen,
    What is your Captivate version and what option did you choose to insert the video?
    If it is Captivate 6, Can you use the Multi Slide Synchonize video. If it is a Previous version, can you select the Video and from properties choose to synchronize with project?
    Does the audio play on other slides when you jump from an incomplete video to other slides or when you view the complete video and then move to rest of the slides.
    Thanks,

  • Slidelet Audio Randomly Playing On Other Slides

    Converted a properly functioning project from C4 to C5 (v5.0.2.630).
    I have two slidelets on one slide both containing audio and images. They work as they should on the slide. When learner advances through the next several slides the audio from the one of the slidelets will randomly play. There is no specific action or timeframe that it I can find that would cause the audio to start on those subsequent slides.  If you go back to the slide with the slidelets it will show to be playing without any action on it (i.e. click or rollover).
    The slidelets are configured to stick on click and "no action" on roll over.
    Any ideas? It's driving me crazy.
    I have attempted several workarounds short of redoing the entire project in C5.
    - Reloading projects (clearing cache)
    - Reloading audio, images for slidelets
    - Recreating slidelets in C5
    - Hiding the slidelets on exit of slide
    - Adjusting hover time
    - Adjusting slide duration
    Appreciate any insight and let me know if you need any more information.
    Thanks,
    Kevin

  • How can I control whether or not an audio files plays when a slide starts?

    I am putting together a course and have a welcome audio that plays automatically when the user begins the course. Since that slide has a list of the modules that will be in the course, I would also like to use it as one navigation option - click the "Menu" link on any slide and return to this page.
    The problem: Every time the page is hit the audio plays.
    The question: How can I set the audio so it only plays the first time the page is entered but not again?
    I have created a variable called "PlayWelcomeAudio" and set it to "Y" initially, then have an Advanced Action script that changes the variable to "N" when it is clicked (progress through the course is linear so there is only one option available to the user at this point. Clicking that link opens the next page and sets "PlayWelcomeAudio" to "N".
    I can see that the variable has been set correctly (when I start it is "Y" and when I come back it is "N") but I'm not seeing anyplace where I can set the audio file so it doesn't play.
    I tried setting cpCmndMute to "1" but that didn't work because it is apparently a global setting and I didn't get any audio playing anywhere after that.
    I'm not looking to pause the timeline or anything like that. I just want the audio to play the first time but not the second and subsequent times that page is hit.
    Thoughts? Suggestions?
    Thanks.
    Michael

    Attach your welcome audio to an object that is not seen (e.g. a highlight box set to 0%) and use your Advanced Actions and variables to HIDE this object ON SLIDE ENTER if the user returns to the same Menu slide at a later point in the course module.
    This should mean that the first time the user gets to that slide, the audio will play.  But all subsequent times they return to that slide, the object will be immediately hidden on entering the slide, which will mean that the audion does not play and all the user sees are the menu options.
    Your alternate strategy would be to have two slides that look almost the same.  The first one has the audio, and the second one doesn't.  Your TOC item for Menu, and any other links in the project that point to the Menu, would go to the second slide without audio.  The user will be none the wiser as long as you work out the navigation.

  • Keynote presentations when using wireless libratone zipp speaker there is a 2sec delay before any slide containing video/audio plays - tried connection through apple TV still the same. Any ideas?

    Keynote presentations when using wireless libratone zipp speaker there is a 2sec delay before any slide containing video/audio plays - tried connection through apple TV still the same. Any ideas?

    Thanks Gary, I think I should have mentioned that I have wired my other speakers and it works fine. 
    I just wanted to go wireless when presenting in front of class, simply to avoid trailing wires from the macbook which I position in front of me on a desk next to the projector and the speakers are behind me next to the screen.
    I have struggled to find a solution, and reading through other discussions it is a problem that perhaps only Apple can solve.
    I hope the new 'Yosemite' will resolve the problem.
    Thank you once again for your reply.

  • I need to pause the slide while A role over caption audio plays

    I am working in Captivate 4, I have a few audio explanations in role over captions and I need to pause the slide if the learner scrolls over them. currently it will play both the slide & role over at the same time. Anybody got a solution????

    Hi Paco,
    Here is an AS3 version for Captivate 4:

  • Audio slideshow plays only first slide

    I am trying to build a musical slideshow from scratch. I created the slides as jpeg files (6 files, 56 to 80 KB each) and an aiff audio file (27 seconds, 4.6 MB). I follow the QT help instructions - slides in a folder, File > Open Image Sequence in QT, select first to make a slideshow. Then new player, open audio file, copy and paste; then paste slideshow by Edit > Add to Selection and Scale.
    The resulting QT movie appears fine, plays and shows all slides just as I wish. But when I save it, quit QT, then double-click on saved file icon, the audio all plays but ONLY THE FIRST SLIDE is shown.
    Any suggestions?

  • Audio from two different slides plays at same time

    I have created a project in Adobe captivate 5 and in the audio on the actual project, I only have one audio. When I go to publish or preview, it plays the audio of a slide that I am on and another slide. What is going on here?! I have tried everything and all the settings, please help!

    Hello,
    Can you please tell me the following?
    1. Does the project have any background audio?
    2. Have you inserted different audio files on different slides or distributed a single audio file on different slides?
    Thanks,

  • Captivate4: Multiple audios playing simultaneously

    Hi there.
    I have a project with multiple swf's (all on separate slides), each with its own audio.
    Everything plays normally on my desktop, but when the project is SCORM 2004 packaged and uploaded to my LMS, the audio for about 5 slides plays simultaneously for the length of the first introduction slide (which incedentally has no audio).
    Once the first slide has finished (it has a couple of text instructions and a "Next" button), and the user continues to the next slide, the audio garble stops.
    I think that for some reason the audio is being played as the swf files are being downloaded from the LMS?
    I have all animations set to be stored externally in the project (that is the only way I can get them to operate correctly), and the download 'buffer' to 80%. Framerate is 30fps.
    Any ideas?
    Thanks in advance.

    Rod, if I learned something I would believe what you say. But to 'learn' one must discover something they didn't know, or correct something they were doing wrong. Sure, I didn't know Captivate would go crazy when I externalised the files, because it shouldn't. I have learned nothing from this, other than Captivate has idiosyncracies I no longer have time to deal with. I am going to continue using the product for small, less important projects, but it is no longer practical for me to use as a serious education tool.

    Thanks for responding though.

  • CP5 Audio Record to...

    The documentation is not clear, but it seems that regardless which of the three recording options I choose (slide/slides/background) it is not possible to 'change slides' while recording.
    What I'm trying to do is add audio (narration) for a presentation which has a number of slides. I'd like to start recording while I am looking at a given slide, continue recording and advance to the next slide. The audio editing function allows you to move 'slide markers' around if you have a large audio file and you are trying to match slides up to it (which, I guess is fine if you are creating the source audio) but it's not very helpful if I'm creating the audio.
    As an example, from PowerPoint I can Slideshow > Record Narration  and start the slideshow and record and advance through the slides and record my whole presentation, without interruption. At then end (if I chose 'linked' at the onset) when I save it it will create separate audio files for each slide.
    I'd rather not have to do this from PPT first, then do more importing into CP5 and dragging and dropping audio files from the library onto the relevant slides (that's another gripe: there seems to be no easy way to drag 30 audio files onto 30 slides without doing each one individually)
    Anyone got an idea of how I do this?
    Thanks in advance.

    I'm kinda replying to my own message as well (I'm also DoubleDawgg. Somehow my personal and work accounts got crossed/meshed?)
    I will have to take back what I said earlier about the new functionality of recording over several slides at once. Turns out it's even better than before, or at least from v3.
    Joseph is correct about the documentation being non-existent (I couldn't find anything either) or unclear for this subject. I clicked all the buttons and check boxes eventually and found the "trick".
    On the main menu click Audio > Record to > Slides.
    Select the slide numbers to record from and to. Click OK.
    You should now be on the Add/Replace tab for this screen.
    I usually check the SWF Preview box (I wish there was a default for this) so I can see the slides I'm recording to. This in the middle right of the screen.
    Here's the gotcha: Check the Continuous Play box. This is in the middle left of this screen.
    Checking the Continuous Play box should leave your slide timing intact and record your narration over the slides you selected.
    If you don't check this box, the narration only gets recorded to the first slide and pushes the timing of that one slide to accommodate the length of the narration.
    So, that makes it like it was in v3. Here's how it's even better:
    At the top of the screen, click on the Edit tab.
    This should show your narration AND the slide timings for just the slides you selected.
    From here, you can adjust the slide timing to better match your narration if needed.
    You can also do any other audio editing needed here without leaving this screen.
    You could adjust slide timing with your audio in v3 but you had to load all the slides for the whole project by going to Audio > Edit Timing > Project.
    Nice improvement if you do a lot of voice-overs. Documentation just needs to be better.
    Hope this is what you were looking for.

  • Turning audio off from previous slide

    I put together a CP5 demo for my lead to present at a meeting to show management some of the things CP5 can do.  On the slides I placed and example of the following:
    a Software Simulation
    a video
    project built from PPTs
    Each of these had narrations in the example.  WHen my lead when to run through it the audio from each continued to play when the project advanced to the next slide so by the end it was a chorus of voices.  Is there a way to tell CP5 to stop the audio when the slide advances?  I'm thinking it must be an advanced action but I"m not good with these.
    Thanks,
    Susan

    Did you add each of these examples as Captivate published SWFs added on separate slides of a master project?
    If so, you would effectively have three or more SWFs each with their own audio track.  Unless you explicitly stop the audio for an SWF inserted into a Captivate movie slide, it will continue to play until finished.
    For best results in Captivate you should avoid nesting Captivate movies within other Captivate projects.
    Just copy and paste all the slides from each separate example into a main project file so that these slides become slides in the master project, each with their own separate audio on each slide.  Then when you publish you shouldn't have problems with the audio playing over the top of other slides.  When you move from slide to slide the audio from previous slides will cease playing.

  • PSE 8, No audio when creating a slide show

    I am unable to create a slide show with audio.  All other functions in the slide show function properly but unable to get the audio portion to play.  Receive error message "Unable to add audio file, the selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor (CODEC) installed."  Checked and all the Vista CODEC's are  installed & functioning properly.  Checked and downloaded the latest CODEC from Realtek for the audio board.  No audio recognized within Organizer or from file folders.  Went to Adobe Tech. and got brushed off.  Any thoughts or ideas would be greatly appreciated.

    1.  I have Windows Media Player 11.  It plays my music files which are mostly .MP3  I am unable to locate the Adobe music files using Windows Explorer.  May be an indication that they didn't load when the program was installed.  I have uninstalled and re-installed PSE 8. from my disc's.
    2.  I Tunes is my primary player.
    3.  OS is Vista Home premium
    After running around in circles for several days I have tried the following:
    1.  I opened PRE8 and created a slide show and imported audio file from my music folder.  Played OK.  Slide show performed OK.  I did not locate the included music folder with program.
    <edited>
    3.  In PSE8 I searched with Windows Explorer and could not locate any audio music files.  The error message I receive is:
         "Unable to add the audio file (C:\Program Data\Adobe\Photoshop Elements\6.0\usic\A_Taste_Of_Sicily.mp3)  The selected file cannot be played because your system does not have the required compressor/decompressor (codec) installed."
    Note that it is searching in PSE6 for the file.  I missed that before.  I long ago uninstalled PSE6 and PSE 7 was installed in its place and since PSE8.
    Now I am suspicious that the music files never loaded with the install of PSE8 and it is searching for music files that no longer exist.  Not sure what is corrupted and not sure what else to try.  I think I will reload PSE7 and see if I can locate the included audio files and attempt to load a slide show with PSE7.
