Stop audio on another page for Epub3
I have audio clips on each page in my book. However, if the user chooses to play a clip, I wish for only one clip to be heard at a time. I have solved this for a single page using JavaScript but I don’t know how to do it for multiple pages. In other words I don’t want multiple audio clips playing at once. And I want all audio to stop when the user turns the page.

I thought that maybe I could store a “current page” variable in a cookie or session with each page monitoring this variable using JavaScript. But I read somewhere that cookies can’t be shared between pages. Is this true and how can I stop the audio playing when a new clip is chosen?

I have tested and it looks like session data isn't shared between pages in ibooks. How do I stop audio playing on one page when I move to another page?

Are you saying that your audio clip continues to play when the user flips the page?

It might be a slightly different use case for what you're trying to do, but have you looked into using "media-overlays" (e.g. SMIL files + audio + XML Markup + OPF udpates)?

How many programs that support ePub 3 support media overlays?

SMIL files are how we do it, FWIW.

I admittedly don't know for certain, but I thought most of the majors did and what most considered 'best practice' if you're trying to create something like a "Read Along" book. But, it too early/I've not have any coffee for me to get excited about finding sources to confirm. :-P

IMHO: I would hope that readers/apps support this part of the spec for it's usefulness (and roots in accessibility), over a custom JavaScript implementation. I appreciate that it might not meet the need of the use case of the EPUB creator, but I think it allows for a better, more consistent UX.

Advanced ePub 3 features is a crap shoot outside of iBooks.
