I am having a difficult time on adding sound when two objects match and disappear. I want the sound to be heard when the object marches the other object to let the person know that it's the correct answer.
Hi, Danny -- Thanks for reaching out! May I ask if you happen to already have a file started that you would be able to share? That would be a great way to better illustrate what you already have in place and what you are hoping to achieve. To share, please use the grey ADD ATTACHMENT button the bottom left of the reply box, and you can browse from there! :)
Here is the attachment. I am working on one of the pages that has the
dominoes. I am trying to add a sound once the correct dominoes match up
with each other, that way it notifies the child that it is the correct
answer. The sound should already be loaded, it is a sound of a bell.

How do you add the sound? I still cant figure out how to add the sound when the person has chosen the right domino. I tested it out but was unable to hear any sound. Thank You!
I have no issue with getting the sound up. It is trying to add the sound once the dominoes are correct when the domino is dragged and dropped to the correct one.
So you want it to play each time a correct drop is done? Not at the end when all are dropped?
Updated file - only the number 1 is programmed at this stage to play sound when dropped on the domino if state of number 1 is dropped correct. Need to add states drop correct/drop incorrect to each number
1. Create a drop correct and drop incorrect state for each of the numbers (drop items)
2. Create a trigger to play sound when object (e.g. Number1) is dropped on correct target. If you wanted you could create a sound to play when they get it incorrect as well.
Hi Wendy how did you create a incorrect and correct state for each number? I apologize I am so confused right now. I am a graphic designer and I am trying to figure out this program
How do you add sound to the triggers that we created so that when the domino connects with the correct number it will make the sound. Also. the previous demo you sent doesn't make the domino's disappear once they are matched up. Could you suggest another way to make the domino's disappear once the player matches the domino to the correct number. I have attached the file that have all the triggers setup. Thanks so much Wendy.
Thank you for the quick response. You are spot on, as far as the incorrect one it would be nice, if we can make a sound that is incorrect. Unlimited would be good. I appreciate your help!!
the file you have uploaded- you haven't created any of the drop correct/drop incorrect states that are required as per my example .story file above. If you want to do that and then upload the file I'll help you with the sound.
I did not create a drag and drop, from my understanding is that you cant make items disappear with the drag and drop unless I am wrong. That is why I created triggers and made the dominoes disappear, let me know if it is possible to add sound with the triggers I created unless it is possible with drag and drop.
Slide 1.6 I have only worked on Number 1 and domino 1 and I have added an audio file as I couldn't find an audio clip in the story file. This is for the correct drops only. If you want to upload the story file with your audio clips for correct and incorrect then i can help you with playing the incorrect audio file when drop is incorrect.
Triggers I added:
1. Stop media 'audio file' when timeline starts on slide 1.6
2. Play media 'audio file' when Number 1 is dropped on Domino 1
3. Change state of Domino 1 to hidden when Number 1 is dropped on Domino 1
4, Change state of Number 1 to hidden when Number 1 is dropped on Domino 1.
here is the updated .story file and video. I have worked on the final slide only using Numbers 1 and 7. I would recommend you name all the objects in your timeline so you can easily recognise them when creating the triggers.

I am trying to add sound to the page that has the dominoes. I only want the sound when the person matches the correct dominoes. Please help!
Hi Danny
see you updated file - I added an audio clip to the correct layer of the dominoes slide.
Hi Wendy,
How do you add the sound? I still cant figure out how to add the sound when the person has chosen the right domino. I tested it out but was unable to hear any sound. Thank You!
Hi Danny
did my file work? I could hear the sound.
Select the layer > Insert audio > browse for the file and add
Here is tutorial on how add audio
Hi Wendy,
I have no issue with getting the sound up. It is trying to add the sound once the dominoes are correct when the domino is dragged and dropped to the correct one.

Wendy,
That last demo you sent me is exactly what I'm looking for. Is there anyway you can provide me with the steps?
Best,

Hi Danny
1. Create a drop correct and drop incorrect state for each of the numbers (drop items)
2. Create a trigger to play sound when object (e.g. Number1) is dropped on correct target. If you wanted you could create a sound to play when they get it incorrect as well.
See images below
Hope that helps and good luck with your project.

Hey Danny
no problem.
SL has a number of inbuilt states that you can use. Here is a quick video of what I did.
The first way was to create the state using the Edit states button.
Once I had the states created I could use the format painter to apply to the others.
Shout out if you need more help.
Here is a tutorial about adding and editing states.

Hi, Danny -- Looks like Wendy has got you all sorted out... thanks, Wendy! :)
And as you mentioned that you are new to learning SL2, I thought perhaps you might want to check out the following resources:
Hope that helps and please let us know if you need anything more!

Hi Danny
the steps are in my post above.
You need to have an audio clip for 'correct' and if you want another 'audio clip' for incorrect.
Then insert the audio onto each slide and follow the steps above - which is for correct. You would repeat them for incorrect.
If you want to upload the .story file with the audio clips you want to insert for both events, I'll do a quick video for you.
Hi Wendy,
Can you create a video with the audio sound and file you have. Let me know if it is possible. Thank you so much.
