Play an audio file over multiple pages
January 8, 2015 12:00 AM
Hi everyone,
So I had a question today that I couldn't answer off the top of my head so I figured I'd see if anyone else has done it.
Someone had a mp3 file on the chapter level of a test. They wanted to play classical music during a test. Problem is, every time the person clicks on the next button, the audio file starts from the begining again.
Is there any way to make this audio file play without restartng? Maybe put it in a pop up window?

It can be done by using frames.
Choose a frame style from Design -> Content frames, e.g. "Contents". Set the width of the "Contents" frame / column to 10px. Create all your pages in the "Main" frame / column. Place your music file in the Contents frame or use it as background-sound for the "Contents" frame / column. Pages will only change in the Main column so the sound will play on.
Mind it won't work when published to scorm / aicc.

Thanks Timk,
Every thing I do is for an LMS so it's all SCORM. Yea, no frames. I may just try a pop up window. Anyone know how to close a pop up window from the main window? Can I do a On unload action, close pop up window with Javascript?
