Audio slide stop when rollover slidelet problem...

[Santi_ARG09]

Dear Community,

I will appreciate your help or comments on this one.

I am using cp4, I have slide with audio and a rollover slidelet (no audio here), I selected the option "stop slide audio when slidelet appears".

When I preview Next 5 slides, the slide audio does not stop, (the progress bar shows a pause in the slide).

I have copied the entire slide (slidelet included) and paste it on a new CP file, and it works fine (the slide audio stops when the rollover slidelet appears).

So I copy and paste it back again to the original project (slide 5 original) so it was placed on slide #6. I have previewed the project and on slide 5 the same problem occurs on slide 6 was working fine. Then I deleted slide number 5....and after previewing the project guess what....yes... is not working!!!!

I was wondering what is happening with the slide number 5....is there a setting or something preventing this to work correctly.

Thank you in advance.

Hi Santi,

Sometimes Captivate goes nuts like this and a solution that normally works is to copy all your existing slides to a blank project. Try and create a new blank project in Captivate with the same dimensions and then copy / paste all your slides into that. This usually helps with this type of problems.

Dear Michael,

Thank you for your email.

I have tried copying the all the slides into a blank cp4 project, but the problem still occurs (slide audio does not stop when rollover slidelet appears).

(This does not happens all the time, this occurs in a few slidelets)

I have inserted a blank slide before the slide with the problem, and this is solving the issue.

Also instead of inserting a blank slide I have tried copying the previous slide, remove the sound and make it short (0.5 sec) and this also works.

I believe this last option is a good workaround, I wonder what is causing the issue or if I might be doing something wrong.

Best regards,

Santi

Santi, I think you have hit on the best solution.  In fact, I always use a duplicate slide without audio at the end of every file to make sure the audio from one Captivate file doesn't 'bleed over' when the next file opens.  --Leslie
