Playing audio from button in Captivate 4
I was wondering if it was possible to play a sound from a button in captivate 4???
I'm attaching sound to a button on a slide, but the sound plays before I even press the button. Is there something I'm doing wrong, or do I need to make the sound button in Flash and import it into my Captivate project?
Thanks in advance for your help!
Hi there
Edit the Button and click the Options tab. Enable the Success caption. The Success caption will then appear when you click the Button.
Edit the properties of the Success caption and add your audio there. If you don't care to see the caption, change the type to Transparent and remove the text.
Cheers... Rick

IPhone 4S keeps playing audio from a video file that is no longer on my phone.
If I'm listening to music and try to change tracks or pause with the earbud buttons the music fades out and starts playing audio from a video file. It will only play about 3-4 seconds and then stop. This also will happen when double clicking the home button to try and change tracks. When I do that the track skipping buttons won't work and there's no title for the short bit of audio that plays. The only way to get music to start playing again is to go into music and press play again. The music I had been listening to is sitting there paused. The audio from the mystery video file still sometimes plays even when you're in music and the only way you would know is the little play icon at the top right part of the screen. I have removed every video off of my phone and it still does it. This is really frustrating.
Sounds like a bad battery. You'll need to bring the phone into Apple for evaluation.
I'm sure you've been using your phone as designed and properly backing up your data, so you should have minimal, if any data loss should the phone need to be replaced. -
Is it possible to play audio from video in the background while using a different app?
I would like to be ale to play audio from a video file in videos (or av player hd) in the background whie using a diffent app in my iPad 2. (ie watching a video while taking notes on the content or highlighting an e-textbook).
Is this possible? Either through the original iPad functionality or by downloading a separate app?
Thanks,
mjiIs it important that the music come from a video, or are you just looking to listen to music in the background, while doing something else. If the later, you can certainly play music from the Music App, Pandora, or iHeart Radio, etc., and with the music playing, tap your home button to go to your home page and open anything else you want and the music will continue.
I don't have any videos to try out right now, but you try the same thing out and if the music continues, it works. If it doesn't, it doesn't. -

I uninstalled DTS software and still had the same problem, so it's not affecting sound driver in any way..

2nd is my speakers advanced settings, nothing changed when I disabled "Allow applications to take exclusive control of this device"I see that the option called “give exclusive mode applications priority” has been checked.
Usually different applications and programs can access the sound card simultaneously.
For example: you can hear the sound in game, while you can run your own music via an external player.
This is prevented with these options “give exclusive mode applications priority”.
Maybe you should disable (uncheck) this option to prevent the different applications for using this exclusive mode stream.
I did it for my DAC. I set the DAC for exclusive mode. Once my audio playback software starts to play music, no other software is able to share the DAC.
However, I use Win 7 and Realtek sound driver… It’s another configuration.
So it’s not known to me if your issue is related Win 8.1 system or maybe limitation of sound driver… it could be also possible that one of your sound applications don’t allow multiple sound streaming. -

How do I play audio from my headphone jack and internal speakers?
How do I play audio from my headphone jack and internal speakers at the same time ? I have a splitter for my audio jack so that when i connect up my second monitor I can have it so it also plays audio as well as anything else i have connected into the jack but how do i let the internal speakers emit sound at the same time?
Hello,
If you mean the internal speakers in your Mac, you can't play audio through them at the same time you have anything plugged into the headphone jack. When you plug something into the headphone jack, it disconnects the internal speakers. -

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!!!
JasminTo 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.

Airport Express no longer playing audio from iTunes (airtunes) or Airfoil
My Airport Extreme recently died so I set up a new wireless network with my 2wire modem from AT&T (Uverse). The new wireless network is fine - laptop connects just fine, Apple TV hasn't had any issues, Netflix through my PS3 hasn't had any problems. However, I'm having problems with the Airport Express in my bedroom. It shows up in airport utility with a green light. It has a green light on the unit itself. It shows up in the multiple speakers pop up in iTunes and shows up in Airfoil's list of available speakers. The problem is whenever I connect to it (from iTunes or Airfoil) it plays audio for one second, then nothing.
It worked fine with my old network set up. It doesn't seem to be a connectivity issue as I can see it with no problems and things connect to it fine. Is it possible that it just happen to die at the same time that the Airport Extreme died? So when I set up the new wireless network, it was dead? I'm on 10.7.4.
Any help would be appreciated.
Keithsome times the electricity blinks in the house... have you tried restarting both units... just unplug it for ten seconds then plug back in.

ITunes 7.1.1.5 will not play audio from inserted cd
I have been experiencing an issue with iTunes on my PC. It will not play any audio from inserted discs. This includes burned discs and commercial discs. When I attempt to play the music the song will stay highlighted briefly, about 2 sec., and then it goes directly to the next song on the disc. This continues through the disc to the end. I experience the same issue when trying to import the disc.
I have tried removing the iTunes application and doing a fresh re-install, but I have the same issue.
Also, this is on a PC, and I am able to open the disc's in question and play the content fine within Media Player.
Any idea's on this would be greatly appreciated!

}Thank u Thompson For your kind reply. I got the problem solved. It was the the problem of Untrusted Applet as u said.Now i Have signed my applet and this appletplayer plays audio only from the server from where this applet comes and from the localmachine also.Now it is playing fine from the server.
But i have another problem , If i am asking that in the wrong forum plz forgive, I will ask it it in applet forum also.
Problem is , I have implemented a joystick with this player. The idea is to combine this player with a text editor so that user can hear audio at the same time he can type in the editor what he hear and he can rewind and forward using joystick(It is actually a footswitch controller) with his leg. This driver i got from Source forgenet works fine in my localmachine and localnetwork also.But i have to install .DLL file in every client machine. This should be avoided.When a client having no jmf and joystick in his machine tries to run this applet through the browser the required Joystick driver and jmf must be installed in client computer also.
By signing the applet and using ARCHIVE keyword i think jmf part will be ok but what about joystick driver.How i could install it in client machine.Playerapplet throws jjstck.dll not found exception
plz guide me
