I’m working on a project in Captivate 6 that has a lot of audio usage. When a slide begins, an audio file plays automatically. There are also two visible buttons per slide, made from smart shapes, that each contain a different audio file. After the learner clicks one of the smart shape buttons, I need it to play an audio file in response to the learner’s answer.
The problem I’m having is that both the slide audio and the two buttons’ audio begin playing concurrently when the slide begins (an auditory triple exposure). Can an advanced action be created to pause the smart shape button audio so it won’t play until the button is clicked?
NOTE: I tried attaching the button audio files to success captions (which are connected to the smart shape buttons) to cause them to wait until clicked before playing. This worked successfully, but this also is problematic. If the second success caption is clicked before the audio from the first one is done playing, they both play at the same time. If there was a way to apply advanced actions to success captions to fix this, that would be great, but, I don’t see any options in the properties window.
Is there a solution to my problem?
