Pause Audio

Post by JasonSTI »

Hello all,

We are looking at using Mimic to move from DemoShield for multimedia tutorials. Previously, we used a single DemoShield DBD file for the video, and had a subfolder of MP3s for our narrator. It appears that we can import the MP3s into a library, so they will be stored within the video. That is fine, but we are encountering a problem that I'm not sure how to work around.

Since we are using a MP3 narrator, the action timing on the video needs to "sync" what is being talked about. This is fine if you simply watch through the video, but if you use the pause, forward, or next buttons, everything gets "off". The pause function doesn't pause the MP3, so this throws off the sync. The jump buttons I think I can make work, as each MP3 will basically have to be their own frame, so changing them each to stop the previous sound should fix the overlap issue I currently see.

How do you make the pause function affect the MP3 audio?
