HELP - How to stop audio from starting when captivate loads

Hi there,
I'm trying to work out how to stop my audio files attached to objects (images) from playing when captivate initially loads.  I have a number of images with audio and when captivate initially loads all of the audios play at once which isn't good.  I only want the audio associated with the object to play when the user clicks the item.   
I've been researching for days and can't find an answer.  Am I doing something wrong, or am I overlooking something.? 
Could someone PLEASE help me with this or at least put me in the right direction.  Any suggestions will be appreciated!!!

To achieve that you have to separate the audio from the image. The principle I explained in this article http://lilybiri.posterous.com/audio-objects-control-them
The audio will play when the object to which it is attached gets visible. If you attach the audio to another object like a non-visible highlight box (that is my 'audio object' but you can use also a non-visible drawing object), you can set this 'audio object' to invisible in its Properties panel. When the user clicks on the click box, execute the action 'Show audio object' and the audio will play. I would even recommend using advanced standard actions over a simple action because you will be able to hide the other audio objects at the same time, and the play head will not be released - see video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M3nKi-DB6Fw&feature=plcp
You have to know that hiding an audio object, will pause the audio. If you show it again, it will continue playing, not restart.

  • How to stop iphone from autoplay when plug into car audio system usb?

    how to stop iphone from autoplaying when connected to your car audio USB ?

    You need to remove the association that Windows has with that particular file type. To do that, you need to open Windows Explorer. From there, click on Tools, then Folder options. Click on the tab that is named file types. You then need to find the extension for the photos that appear in the iPhone, then click that registered file type. Once you do that, there is a section to select the program to open that file type with. You can click on the change button, and that will allow you to change the program that it opens with, or restore the default. There is also a box that can be checked to always use the selected program. If you unselect it, it will prompt you next time on what program to use.
    Hope this helps.

    Can I stop Safari from starting when connecting to a network on my iPad?
    On my home network the wi-fi connection happens automatically without opening Safari. But on my work network, when attempting to make a connection the iPad lets me enter my user name and password, but then tries to open the webpage www.apple.com, which is blocked by iPrism as entertainment, so I can't actually connect to that network. oes anyone know a fix for this problem?

  • How can I stop itunes from starting when I turn on the computer?

    I'm sure I've done it before but I've just reinstalled itunes and it starts evey time I turn on the computer. I have searched all the menus and haven't found an option to turn this off.
    Can anyone help please?

    Go to Start>All Programs and look in Startup. iF iTunes appears there, remove it.
    If iTunes is not in startup, do you have any iTunes widgets? If you don't know what they are you probably don't have any.
    Some iTunes Widgets can be configured to start when you start your computer and that could cause iTunes to appear.

  • FF34. How to stop new search starting when changing Search Enigine choice?

    I switch a lot between different search enigines, such as IMDB, Mirrium-webster, Wikipedia, YACY ans so on, and with the prior versions when I chose a new Search Engine from the dropdown list it didn't instantly start a new search. I don;t want a new search commenced until I either press Enter or hit the Search Icon. How do I stop FF from doing this? The reason I don;t like FF doing this is because I don;t want the already searched for terms to be automatically used in a new search engine choice. THAT's the reason I choose to use another search engine previously.

    You can revert to the old Search Bar scheme like this.
    Open up '''about:config''' ''(typed in the Location Bar)''
    Right-click and toggle this preference to '''''false'''''
    '''browser.search.showOneOffButtons'''
    Then restart Firefox.

    It could be that you have Restore Windows turned on system preferences>General. If that's not it, go to system preferences>users and groups>your account>log in items and make sure it's not in there.

  • How to stop audio from sputtering on Windows Live Movie Maker

    I hope that I'm asking this in the right place. If not, if someone could direct me to the right place it would be greatly appreciated.
    The video and audio in some of my videos are sputtering and spitting even though the sound is correct when I listen to them directly on the computer (not in MM.) If I split and delete all but a few seconds (:15 or so) off of the original video
    it's "almost" okay in MM, but the longer the video, the bigger the problem.  (More sputtering, longer pauses, video freezes but audio is fine, the whole thing is slow, etc...)
    I have a combination of clips from an android (MP4) and iPhone (MOV) files that I am editing together. 
    I am using Windows 7 Professional and installed Movie Maker a few weeks ago.  I can't tell which version I have, but assume it's the latest since I just downloaded it.
    I've tried the FixIt link from some other suggestions in posts about the same problem, but it says there's nothing to fix.  I don't understand what codec is.
    Is there something simple I can do to smooth out the sound, or should I just use YouTube for the editing?  (I plan to put this up on YouTube anyway.)
    Thank you in advance for a speedy reply.  (I originally asked this on August 22 in the Microsoft Community forums, but it FOREVER to get a reply from the moderator.  He was giving good instructions, but I can't wait 48 hours to get a reply to a
    question I have about his instructions.)

  • How to Stop Quicktime from Opening when Downloading a Song?

    I'm trying to download a song from an artists website. When I click on the song, a new window opens and quicktime starts to buffer the song for playback. This happens with both IE and Firefox.
    How do I disable this? My laptop doesn't do this, but my main desktop is.

    Why not just right-click and save the linked file to your computer?
    Open the .mp3 with any app you choose.
    You can disable the QuickTime plug-in from playing .mp3 files in a browser window by opening the QT Control Panel/Advanced and click the MIME Settings button. Remove the check mark for the .mp3 format and restart your browser for this change to take effect.

  • How to stop iTunes from launching when iPhone is connected?

    I have the "Disable automatic syncing for all iPhones and iPods" checked in my Windows version if iTunes. But when I try to charge my iPhone, it still comes up. Is there any way to disable this. Windows also detects a camera device. I do all my iPhone stuff at home on my Mac, but at work I have a PC and I want to be able to charge my phone using the USB cable. But I don't want iTunes to launch or the PC to detect the camera device. Any ideas or suggestions?
    Thanks

    SteveFLHTCI:
    Here's what I did using Windows Vista Home Premium. First, when I connected my iPhone, an AutoPlay dialog box popped up asking me what I wanted to do. Towards the bottom, there was some blue text that stated "Set AutoPlay defaults in Control Panel" and I clicked on it. When the Control Panel AutoPlay applet opened up, I scrolled down towards the bottom and found a list of devices which included "Apple iPhone." From there, I selected "Take No Action" from the drop-down list and have lived happily ever after.
    Hope that helped. Good luck.

  • Stop WMP10 from starting when I plug in Zen Visio

    When I plug in my Zen Vision M, Windows Media Player 0 starts up and starts synchronizing. I want a totally different program to come up -- or NO PROGRAM AT ALL!?I can't find a way to do this with the zen. I went into WMP settings and said don't synchronize. It ignores me. I tried going to windows explorer and changing device properties, but that tab is not available.

    OK, under Windows Media Player, SYNC SETTINGS, I found a menu that allows me to change syncing from automatic to manual. So now the syncing doesn't occur when I plug in the device. But Windows Media Player 0 STILL opens, and I don't want it to. I'd rather have nothing open, or else a program of my choosing. Just to be clear, here's a copy of my post at experts exchange:?*****When I plug in my Zen Vision M, Windows Media Player 0 opens. (For technical reasons I need to use WMP version 0, NOT or beyond.)
    I want a totally different program to come up -- or NO PROGRAM AT ALL! -- when I plug in the zen player.
    I can't find a way to do this with the zen. ?I went into WMP settings and said don't synchronize, which worked. ?But when I go into the device properties, there's no menu for choosing which program opens with the device. You don't get the usual menus under windows explorer. ?
    In fact, the only way I can get to a device properties menu at all is to plug in the device, and then go to Zen Media Explorer (which is a shortcut / device under Windows Explorer). The device appears there as a sub-folder, and has a properties menu. But again, this menu doesn't allow for choosing which programs run when the device is plugged in.
    I found a check box that said "show zen in windows explorer as portable device". I checked this and restarted explorer. But all the menus / choices for this are the same as for the above "Zen Media Explorer"
    Likewise I looked under Dev Mgr properties -- there's a properties menu, but no where to choose which program runs when device is plugged in.

  • How to stop system from freezing when importing into iTunes (version 7)?

    Since I have installed iTunes 7, I have been unable to import music into iTunes; my computer freezes after about 10 seconds and the only thing I can do is restart the entire computer. It is extremely frustrating and I can't seem to find anyone who can help me with this issue...I'm affraid that I'm not extremely technical-savvy when it comes to these things, so any help or suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

    I've found quite a few people in these discussions with this problem and I had the same one myself.
    The only thing I could do (the startup disc I have was an earlier version of iTunes - I downloaded iTunes 7 from the net) is uninstall iTunes and then reinstall using the earlier disc and don't upgrade it. Unfortunately this means if you have any music in iTunes 7 you won't be able to use it.

  • How to stop iPhoto from launching when Kodak Photo CD is inserted...

    Hi-
    I do not what iPhoto to launch automatically when I insert a Kodak Photo CD. I looked for a preference to stop this, but could not find anything. Can anyone help?

    Mac OS 10.4.9
    Thanks.

    Thanks for the quick reply...
    In the Image Capture General Preferences, I have "No Application" chosen to open when a camera is connected. This preferences, however, does not effect Kodak Photo CD's. iPhoto still launches.
