managing audio while in groups
January 10, 2008 12:00 AM
I have several groups of objects (audio, text, buttons) on my pages. At the page level (above the groups), I have several actions set up to show only one group at a time based on the status on a varible. Ex: if _var = 2 then show group 2, else hide group 2.This structure works fine except for audio. The aduio files wont hide if auto start is checked, and play when the page loads. But when auto start is NOT checked the only way I can get them to begin playing is by assigning an action to the audio itself and no where else. This is odd because outside of the groups acitons that play audio work fine when placed elsewhere. I've tried this with .wav files and even used flash audio, but the result was the same.Regardless, assigning an action to a multimedia file gives a blue warning when publishing that it may not work in a browser. I've tested this in IE6 and FF2, and it's fine. I'm still concerned things may change when we upload to our LMS (learn.com). Does anyone know if this is a real issue for modern browsers or when placed on a LMS, or is this some obscure netscape or early IE version problem? And, can anyone determine why my play audio actions insist on being placed only on the audio when in a group?Thanks
