Play/Pause with multiple audio files
March 13, 2017 12:00 AM
I have tabs each with it's own audio file that plays when tab is clicked. I want a Pause/Play button on page that will pause all events/audio when clicked and then pick up where left off when click again. Any suggestions? I already have stops on all other audio if you are on a certain tab.

The pause button is easy: Add actions to "Pause" each audio.
For the play button you need to know which audio has been playing, i.e. which tab is opened.
Create a variable called "currentTab". Initial value = 0 (if no tab is opened when the page is loaded) = 1 (if the first tab is opened when the page is loaded).
Add an action to each tab button.
On: Click
Action: Modify variable
Target: currentTab
Type: Set equal to
Value: 1 (for the first tab), 2 (for the second), ...
Add actions to the Play for each audio / tab:
On: Click
Action: Play
Target: audio_1
Condition: Only if "currentTab" Equal to "1"
Change the target and the value in the condition for each audio.
