Let’s all say it together… NO AUTO PLAY!

Wednesday, June 2nd, 2010

Ok,
I’m a huge fan of the Adobe Captivate Blog but having videos autoplay is really, really annoying! I do not want any sound on my laptop that I did not ask for or install. I have some whirrs and clicks and itunes running in the background (playing whatever middle eastern pop tune struck my fancy this week), but I DO NOT WANT to have a voice over from a tutorial (or worse, an ad) starting without notice.
Grrrrrr

Ok, … that said, check out the blog anyway. They know more about Captivate than damn near anyone and are a really good resource.
