Ahh, I see what you are trying to get to. I do not think iBooks is at this stage just yet and I think the work-around within Keynote may do the trick….I’m just not sure if that would do it.

right Mary, all that is clear, complete with the visible, clickable PLAY arrow, but can the media widget be made invisible and AUTO PLAY upon page turn or text appearance? There may be a way to set up animation in Keynote and import it, but I am not sure how “animation” or sequence-play imported from Keynote into iBooks Author works, what resolution and screen layout is kept, etc.

Hi Ari,
Within iBooks, when media is inserted an obvious ‘Play’ button [which is a simple arrow button] will appear for the reader to click and play. To my knowledge, currently there is no way to change the ‘Play button’ to ‘read’ as text such as ‘CLICK-TO-READ or ‘READ TO ME’ instead of the Play button itself.

You can customize the ‘Title’ of the media, so it could say
‘CLICK-TO-READ’ or whatever you desired which could act as a visual clue to ‘click’ the ‘Play Button’.

iBooks also makes the insertion of any media easy by simply dragging the media into the iBook layout. Thumbnail images, for the media, can be changed as well.

Hope that helps.
Mary

Why is it not simple and clear how to auto-trigger or onClick “arm” a text box to playback an audio file

Simply put: in an iBook Author children picturebook, how can one easily set-up a READ TO ME or CLICK-TO-READ iBook version? It seems you have to design complex, invisible widgets.. All media widgets seem to always be visible and demand manual user PLAY click..

Any thoughts/tips?
