I’m trying to create a “real” toggle button for play/stop audio using smart shape buttons so that if the “Audio Play” button is clicked, it displays the “Audio Stop” button.
I imported an audio file to use with slides (Audio – record to slides).
I use a Master slide with two smart shapes “back” and “next” checked “use as button” and “pause project until user clicks”.
In the first slide there are two smart shapes: “Audio Play” and “Audio Stop” .
In the property panel I named the smart shape “Audio Play”, “Bt_Play” and the smart shape “Audio Stop”, “Bt_Stop”.
I checked for each smart shape “Use as a button” , “place object on the top”, “display for rest of project” .
I created 2 advanced actions :
Action Name: Play
Assign cpCmndMute with 0
Show Bt_Stop
Hide Bt_Play
Action Name: Stop
Assign cpCmndMute with 1
Show Bt_Play
Hide Bt_Stop
I associated the “Play” advanced action to the button “Audio play” and the “Stop” advanced action to the button “Audio Stop”
I set the two buttons in the same location on the slide (selecting the two buttons - right click – align – align and resize to the same size).
Here is the PROBLEM:
The two buttons in the same location on the slide don’t work well. If I click the play/pause audio button several times, it stops working, freeze but never on the same slide, and I don’t understand why. (I made a new project from scratch but the buttons have the same behaviors). This strange behavior appears in the Preview and published Swf.
BUT if I just separate the two buttons on the first slide, they work well on the whole project!
Where is the mistake?
I read the Lilybiri’s blog and the answers on Adobe forum, just another user had a problem almost like mine http://forums.adobe.com/message/5231376#5231376 but I have not found the solution.
I use Cp 6.1.0.319 – Annual subscription Elearning Suite 6 – SO Windows 7 64 bit
I can share a small project to find the solution.
Thanks in advance for your help!
