One button to start/stop mp3 in pdf, but playback toolbar getting in way

Hi, I want to make a button to play back and stop an mp3 file in an exported pdf. I was able to make a button, then assign two actions to it, one to play the mp3 on mouse click, and the other to stop the mp3 on mouseover. the button looks fine in the pdf, there's just one problem. Indesign automatically puts a playback toolbar in the exported pdf where the mp3 file is located; even if i choose 'none' for poster, the playback bar appears (it's tiny and unusable); i thought it would be simple to have a button start and stop an mp3 but this is proving tedious. Any simple solution would be appreciated. I simply want to play/stop an mp3 file with one button in an exported pdf.

I think I know what you're talking about, but it's not InDesign. You're probably playing the MP3 in Acrobat or Reader, and those PDF readers don't make the MP3 file totally invisible.
I've done quite a bit of experimenting and this is the best I can come with: Give the MP3 file no poster image in InDesign, then export as Interactive PDF. After you create the PDF file, you need to select the invisible sound file with the Select Object tool in Acrobat Pro as shown below:
Double-click the sound file to view its properties. Set the file to play in a floating window. Then edit the dimensions to be 1 pixel by 1 pixel:
When the sound file is played it appears as a tiny black dot on the gray background outside the PDF page in Acrobat or Reader.

  • I have a m2007 macbook connected to my wireless network using time capsule.  I stream video to the macbook, but often get start stop of the streaming, but no wheel to indicate a buffering issue.  Can I resolve this with higher speed internet and cable mod

    I'm wondering if my cable internet is too slow for wireless streaming of videos to other macbooks.  Any help will be appreciated

    Can you clarify whether you are asking about video that you are streaming from the Internet to your Mac through the Time Capsule?
    Or, are you asking about streaming video that is already stored on the Time Capsule to your Mac?
    In either case, what happens....video quality wise..... if you test by temporarily turning off the wirelss on the Mac and then connecting it to one of the LAN <-> ports on the Time Capsule using a spare Ethernet cable for a few hours?

  • Service start/stop

    I am trying out service start/stop between different JVMs but am not seeing what I expected. I have attached a quickly written test program to try out a scenario.
    1. Run the attached program (java Test -Dtangosol.coherence.cacheconfig=servicetest.xml) in 2 JVMs. Let's call them JVM1 and JVM2.
    2. At the JVM1 command prompt, type: startservice
    3. At the JVM1 command prompt, type: startcache
    4. At the JVM1 command prompt, type "i" six times. This should insert 6 items into the cache.
    5. At the JVM1 command prompt, type "c". Following is what is displayed:
    key=4, value=4
    key=3, value=3
    key=2, value=2
    key=1, value=1
    key=5, value=5
    key=6, value=6
    6. At the JVM2 command prompt, type: startservice
    7. At the JVM2 command prompt, type: startcache
    8. At the JVM2 command prompt, type "c". The six cache items are displayed.
    9. At the JVM1 command prompt, type "stopservice". The expectation is that the service on JVM1 is stopped and the cache items on JVM1 are transferred to JVM2.
    10. At the JVM2 command prompt, type "c". The following is displayed:
    key=4, value=4
    key=3, value=3
    key=1, value=1
    key=6, value=6
    Cache items 2 and 5 have disappeared. Why?
    Thanks

    Following is javadoc for the Controllable.shutdown( ) method:
    Stop the controllable service. This is a controlled shut-down, and is preferred to the stop() method.
    <b>This method should only be called once per the life cycle of the controllable service</b>. Calling this method for a service that has already stopped has no effect.
    I might need to expand and shrink the horizontal span of the cache multiple times without having to shutdown the JVM, which means I might need to shutdown the service multiple times, but the javadoc says I can't call shutdown more than once. Is there a different way to perform an orderly service stop?
    Thanks

  • Is root required to start/stop/restart mysql?

    I'm trying to have all users in the mysql be able to start/stop/restart mysql. I'm currently getting permission denied for the /var/lib/mysql folder even though I'm logged in as a user that is a member of the mysql group (and mysql is the owner of the directory)
    Is what I am trying to achieve possible?
    I'm not sure if this is related but I am also unable to start mysql from rc.d on bootup, but once I am logged in I can use the root user to start it up.
    Thank you!

    /etc/rc.d/mysqld wrote:/usr/bin/mysqld_safe --user=mysql &>/dev/null &
    Doesn't mysqld get started as mysql user by default?
    Did you modify any of mysql's configuration files while trying to do this? I imagine that would cause troubles for you.
    Post anything else you think is relevant, too.

  • One button for sound start & stop Flash AS3

    Hi,
    I am trying to create a sound button to start a sound and then stop it when clicked again.
    I thought it would be easy because there is a code snippet for "click to play/stop sound"
    I have my sound file in my library.
    Below is the code that is not working:
    Instructions:
    1. Replace "http://www.helpexamples.com/flash/sound/song1.mp3" below with the desired URL address of your sound file. Keep the quotation marks ("").
    CYOA2bttn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, fl_ClickToPlayStopSound_11);
    var fl_SC_11:SoundChannel;
    //This variable keeps track of whether you want to play or stop the sound
    var fl_ToPlay_11:Boolean = true;
    Proxy-Connection: keep-alive Cache-Control: max-age=0 Cp>function fl_ClickToPlayStopSound_11(evt:MouseEvent):void
        if(fl_ToPlay_11)
            var s:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("CYOA2.wav"));
            fl_SC_11 = s.play();
        else
            fl_SC_11.stop();
        fl_ToPlay_11 = !fl_ToPlay_11;
    CYOA2bttn is my button and CYOA2.wav is my sound file.
    The error that comes up when I try to test the Flash file is:
    Error #2044: Unhandled IOErrorEvent:. text=Error #2032: Stream Error.
        at CYOA_fla::MainTimeline/fl_ClickToPlayStopSound_11()
    ANY SUGGESTIONS!?
    Help PLEASE

    hi
    if the mp3 is in your library (in your fla) then the code is slightly different...
    first, right-click on the sound in the library and select properties. Then tick "Export for ActionScript", and enter a name in "Class" (eg: mySound).
    Then amend your code:
    replace:
    var s:Sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("CYOA2.wav"));
    with:
    var s:Sound = new mySound();
    (replace "mySound" with whatever you entered for "Class" above.

  • Start Stop and Run button.

    hello,
    I have one question, I want one button which can be run/start/stop button. I can't compile the program with "Run when open", because I need the user enter a string and a configuration, however after the user enter a configuration, I want that a START button, and when the user want press the same button to STOP all the program. All without pressing the "Run button (white arrow)". So the sequence it will be:
    1- open the ".exe"
    2- configure the variables such as: file name, file path, comments.....
    3- press START button, and the system will start acquisition.
    4- press STOP button and the program stopped and save all the data in a file.
    It is that possible? Could anyone help me with it? Or send me and example?
    Best regards,
    Anna.  

    Hi,
    You can do something like this.
    Compile it with "Run when open".

  • Play/stop sound on one button (AS3)

    hello
    when you click the first time on the button, it should start the song, when you click a second time on the button, it should stop the song. how do i make this with actionscript 3?
    regards
    simon

    A very basic example:
    You'd need 3 var:
    private var _sound:Sound;
    private var _soundChannel:SoundChannel;
    private var _soundChannelPosition:Number = 0;
    Then create a Sound:
    _sound = new Sound(new URLRequest("some.mp3"));
    Stop/play the sound on click:
            private function click(e:MouseEvent):void {
                if(_soundChannel == null){
                    _soundChannel = _sound.play(_soundChannelPosition);
                } else {
                    _soundChannelPosition = _soundChannel.position;
                    _soundChannel.stop();
                    _soundChannel = null;

  • MP3 Player that can play one track, and than stops.

    Hi all,
    For an art project, I am looking for a mp3 player that can playback in "single track play" mode.
    Meaning that it will automatically stop/pause?after playing one track, and remain paused until I press "play" to start playback of?the next song?(I don't want to have to press "pause" or "stop" after each song is played).
    Are there currently any mp3 players by Creative Labs?that have this "single track play" capability?
    Thanks in advance for your recommendations!
    Best regards,
    Eibert Draisma.

    This is a user-to-user forum. Apple does not respond to posts here. You can give Apple your feedback on the Feedback page:

    They don't respond directly there, either. And once you post something here, people will comment as they see fit, regardless of what you originally hoped for. That's just the way it is with a public forum.

    I have noticed an issue with utilizing the “stream” function on iOS 7. If you choose to just stream the movie by hitting the play button it seems to actually start downloading (which is fine) but if you are say halfway thru the movie and stop you can clearly see that storage has been reduced under the usage, yet under the “videos” tab it still states “No Data” the only way to delete what you have partially downloaded is to fully download the video, which is fine but there is no way to tell what videos have been partially downloaded (I.e which occurs a lot when your child switches between movies using the so called “stream” function). This becomes troublesome once the capacity of the ipad is almost met and you have no way to delete this data since you may have several videos that have started to be viewed (hence partially downloaded). Apple needs to somehow make it truly streaming or provide an update so the storage can be managed. The only way I have been able to remove partially downloaded videos is by doing a total software restore. (The video data that is in question when connected to my MacBook shows up in iTunes as “other”) if you have any insight into this issue it would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Here are the screenshots for what it's worth.

    '''Again, when I set my DNS server to automatically detect the servers both problems disappear and I have no issues at all.'''
    IMO opendns is either doing this on purpose (unlikely) or they're under some sort of attack/being used to attack the specific torrent sites although I'm open to other explanations. I believe using the automatic setting for DNS is using my own ISP's DNS servers (which again, work fine... but still...)
    I'd rather not use Google's public DNS servers as Google is to commercial these days and I think there's potential privacy issues.
    '''Again I have changed the setting for DNS servers back and forth several times to duplicate/verify the issue(s)... and the issues only happen with the opendns servers.'''

  • How do I change the start/stop time for multiple songs not just one song at a time?

    I don't think you can in iTunes.
    Multiple editing in Get Info does not offer an option to change start/stop times.
