Play Sound and Stop Sound

The Play Sound and Stop Sound actions let you manage the playback of an audio plug-in on a page. You can control sounds dynamically by creating timeline-triggered Play Sound and Stop Sound actions or let the viewer control sound playback when they click buttons on the page.

Note: The Play Sound action requires a cross-platform, cross-browser audio plug-in that can be controlled by JavaScript, such as the LiveAudio plug-in.

Make sure you have an audio plug-in on the page and that it is named in the More tab of the Inspector. Trigger the action with a user-triggered or timeline-triggered event. Choose Action > Multimedia > Play Sound or Stop Sound. Inserting a Stop Sound action is good practice before inserting a Play Sound action; it stops any other sound track that may still be playing when the viewer clicks the Play button. To set up a Play Sound or Stop Sound action, choose the sound you want to start playing back or the sound you want to stop from the Name pop-up menu.
