I'm wondering if there's a way to use JavaScript to stop a Captivate SWF which is playing. Here's my scenario. I'm popping up a Captivate demo in an overlay above a page. That part works fine. But if the website visitor closes the overlay before the demo has finished it keeps on playing even though the overlay is no longer visible. That wouldn't really be a problem except that you can hear the audio continuing to play.
And that wouldn't be a problem if I could turn off the audio but the option in Preferences only works partially. I've deselected both "Include audio" and "Play tap audio.." but all that does is turn off the typing sounds. You can still hear the mouse clicks.
So, what I need is either a way to really turn off all audio or a way to stop the presentation from playing using JavaScript. Does anyone know a way?
