See attached a quick example and here is the published version: http://dev.keypointlearn.com/xcl71_SL/AudioOnce/ I use a True/False variable that starts out as False and is set to True when the slide's timeline starts. Audio is only played if the variable is false.
Hello Karen, in order to do this, you'll need to create a second copy of the slide -- this one without audio. The trick is to arrange your navigation in such a way so that the user will see the slide with audio, and in future navigation, is directed only to the second, non-audio slide. You'll also have to hide one of these duplicate slides in the menu.
I've done this in a couple of modules; each time the original slide with audio served as a launch page with multiple click-on hyperlinks that went to other information screens. When exiting any of the information screens, I set the navigation to return to the duplicate launch page without audio.
If this is confusing, let me know. I'll see if I can pull an example and send it to you in PowerPoint so you can see how it's set up.

Hi, Michael.
Thanks for your reply. Is this for Storyline? Sorry I should have specified - I'm working in Studio 13.
Oops, sorry I should have first checked that this is a Storyline discussion thread. I just assumed :-).

Thanks, Dave. I've done this before, and I can see how this can work in this instance. Thanks for the advice.
Hello Karen,
Hopefully Daves idea will work for you . Good luck on your project!
