How to play background music continuously throughout the course in Articulate Storyline 2
Articulate Storyline 2 provides the flexibility to customize interactivity to the max with minimal efforts. This web based authoring tool gives feasibility to add JavaScript which can be of great help to take your eLearning courses to the next level. It’s fairly easy to extend and enhance the functionality of the built-in features in Storyline that come by default.
We came across a challenge in one of our courses developed for a Registered Training Organization (RTO). The course content was presently in simple form without voice-over. The audience were between the age group of 20-30 years and to keep the content attractive client wanted to add a background music.
If we embed the music in individual screens then upon every next click, the music starts from beginning. Even the audio in Master slide didn’t solve the issue.
We have overcome this limitation and customized it with the help of JavaScript. After following the below instructions you can play single audio file throughout the course.
Here are the steps to be followed:
Step 1
Created a file called index.html in text editor (Notepad) and add the code <audio src=”___”></audio>.

Do I need to put the WebObject in the ZIP after?
Hi Alexandre,
Yes, it works on ScormCloud or TempShare.
You only need to add the WebObject with Storyline.
Hello, how can I write a JavaScript code that creates random numbers from one to ten so that by clicking on a button, this JavaScript command does not repeat the code that it generates, for example, if it shows three for the first click, in the next click three are do not be shown. thanked

Would this work if the deliverable needs to be launched in MindTickle (we can only add a zipped SCORM file in MindTickle)?
