Muting from outside document issue

[MarkHunte]

Hmm,

It would help to see the external document and what you are doing.

I assume you are using the methods from here;

Linking to a specific scene from inside and outside of a Tumult Hype document

Tumult Hype documents are accessible from a single URL. If you name your document 'Flying' and upload it to your site, then your animation and all its scenes are accessible from http://example.com/flying.html (unless you change the name of your exported .html file). This article describes three ways to navigate between scenes: Load a scene directly from a URL (For example: http://site.com/hypedocument.html#contact) Use a button outside of your Tumult Hype document to load a scene in that docu…

So if I understand you correctly the easiest thing maybe to add a stopAudio timeline with the keyframe actions to stop the audio.

Then make two calls on the onclick.

<a href = "#" onclick = "HYPE.documents['TypeText'].startTimelineNamed('stopAudio');HYPE.documents['TypeText'].showSceneNamed('scene2')">Jump To My Scene</a>

This works in my tests.

On a side note, I have possibly an easier way for you to set up the typed text.

The way I would do this is to create three timelines, one for each typed text section.

On the first timeline I would then have the animation for the Red text 1 start, and the action for starting the typewriter sound. In the same action I would add another action to call a javascript function ( i will come to that in a min).
Then the other two action down stream to start the bell sound and stop the typewriter sound.

repeat this for the other text red numbers and sound starts and stops in two more timelines. ( including the JS function )

The Main Timeline will start these timelines at the correct times.

The JS function is an adaption of my Type Text code.

This adaption uses the name of the timelines to work out which text to start typing.
So the three timeline are named

text1
text2
text3

The big text boxes then get an id that matches it's timeline.
I.e

text1
text2
text3

In the JS function you then add three arrays.

Each array contains two items.

Item 1 will be the text to type, item two will be the speed to type it.
Each array will get a corresponding global variable name.

window.text1CharArray
window.text2CharArray
window.text3CharArray

We can now use the name of timeline calling the JS to choose the correct array by joining the timeline name with "CharArray".
We also use the time line name to get the Text box that whose id matches it.

Here is the working example.

My thoughts are that this will save time constructing the typing on a timeline and innerText properties.

All you then need to do is setup the Actions to start the text timelines at the right time, work out the speed for the text to type for each section. ( this was very easy to do for me, I just went up or down 20 milliseconds on the numbe in second item in the text arrays)
