    Hi

    I'm new to captivate 2 and was wondering if there is anyway to use either the capabilities for Captivate 2 or introduce a flash button to mute the sound if the user does not require audio. The auto has been imported directly into Captivate and not into a flash animation.

    Any help would be great.

    Three options:

    1. If you publish your Captivate SWF with a 'skin,' the learner/user should be able to mute the Captivate SWF's audio by using the 'mute' button on the control bar.

    2. If you publish without a skin, and embed your Captivate SWF directly to an HTML file, you'll need to use JavaScript to create a mute button.

    3. If you publish without a skin, and embed your Captivate SWF directly to another Flash SWF, you'll need to use ActionScript to create a mute button.

    Obviously option 1 is the easiest, because Captivate will take care of everything for you. :)

    If you're interested in option 2, you can visit the Captivate section of my website for some examples.

    I don't currently have any examples for Option 3 on my site, but there are tons of examples on the web and in the official Adobe Captivate forum.
