Audio - play one time only
May 3, 2013 12:00 AM
Good morning,
I need some help with audio. I have a list of links to 10 documents (say on page 1) that learners need to read. I've added an audio file on page 1 and it instructs learners what they need to do. I click on the link, review the information, complete a test. When I finish the test for topic 1, it brings me back to page 1, puts a checkmark next to that item and plays the instructions again. I click on item 2, review doc, complete quiz for topic 2, go back to page 1, get my checkmark and audio plays again.
I only want to hear the instructions once.....can anyone tell me what kind of action I would need so that the audio file does not play every time I go back to page 1 after completing each test. As mentioned I have 10 topics that are covered.
Thanks for your time, appreciate any assistance you can provide.
Regards

I got it to work...added an on show action to ..mute FLV media....but now my next issue is that I have a video in topic 6 and when I get to that video the file is muted and I have to click the button to unmute. Is there an action I can use to unmute the sound, rather that having to click on the mute button on the controller.
Any ideas...anyone....

First of all, there is an action to unmute the sound. So on page 6, add On Show -> Unmute media.
However, the best way to solve your initial problem is as following:
- disable autoplay for speaker on page 1
- create a variable called "FirstPageSpeakerAlreadySpoke" with default value "no"
- add action to page1 -> On Show -> Play Speaker.mp3 -> Condition: "FirstPageSpeakerAlreadySpoke" contains "no"
- add action to all other pages -> On Show -> Modify Variable "FirstPageSpeakerAlreadySpoke" -> Set to "yes"
This way, when learners return to page 1, your control variable will be set to "yes" and the action to play the speaker will not fire anymore. And you don't have to mess with other media by muting/unmuting anything.
Excellent.....thank you soooooo very much.
Appreciate your help.
Enjoy your day.
