There is no danger of choking Captivate which could happen if you use duplicate advanced actions since you are using instances of one shared action (ecologically). However, since you don't have to change settings in the shape button Properties panel, the shared action approach needs even less clicks. The user is concerned that applying the shared action will take more time than the approach he tried out with simple actions. No need to add a command like 'Stop triggered audio' which is only needed when you want to stop a playing clip without playing a new at the same time.
If the learner clicks another shape button before the first audio clip ends, that first clip is stopped automatically. The Continue command which will be done at the end of the audio clip will take care of resuming the slide audio.ĭo not bother about having two clips playing at the same time. You don't have to change any setting in the shape button Properties. The command Pause in the action will pause the slide audio automatically, contrary to a pausing point of an interactive object. Have a look at the shared action with its two parameters (name audio clip and duration clip): The audio clips for the shape buttons were imported to the Project library, and their exact duration was checked, because it will be needed in the shared action. You could see the slide audio (narration) in the Timeline panel. You can open a rescalable version using this link or watch the embedded version below: I used some slides from the Aspire Quick Start Project. A copy of the Timeline panel can be found on the third slide. After the Title slide you'll see a slide with a Next button to pause the slide, and a shared action triggered by each of the shape buttons. Watch this short project created to double-check my proposed workflow with a shared action for the shape buttons. This learner tried to solve this with simple actions, using the feature 'Pause slide audio when clicked'.
Idea is that the learner can still listen to the audio clips after the slide audio has finished. There is at least one more interactive object pausing the slide towards the end.When a shape button is clicked the audio clip should play, but the slide audio should pause, and resume after the audio clip ends.There are multiple shapes used as buttons, which should trigger an audio clip using 'Play Audio' command those shapes have no pausing point.This short blog post is meant to answer another question on the Adobe forums.
