Audio global on/off button with .flv
October 21, 2008 12:00 AM
There have been a handful of posts over the past couple years about a global on/off (mute/unmute) button but none that deal directly with audio compressed to a .flv. I'm wondering if any one else has seen the below issue.I have the global audio on/off button working using a blank audio file and the Replace Contents action as taught to my be Ben's on the side job. I am using .mp3 files compressed to .flv and it works fine - when clicking Audio Off, the audio stops; clicking Audio On, the audio plays. The problem is that there's a long load at the start of each page before the audio plays - 2-3 seconds, depending on the size of the audio file. This load time is only seen when playing in the LMS. Previously when I used this global on/off button, I was only using .swf files in Lectora (manually converting .mp3 files to .swf using a 3rd party program). Using only .swf audio worked like a charm and there was never an issue with load time. I would prefer to continue using the new Lectora compression as it's simpler to deal with audio.Anyone else seeing this same issue? Or do you employ a different technique for a global on/off audio button? Thanks,Russ
