Adding sound to a state
Hi everyone!
I´m trying to figure out how to add sound to a state. Can someone please help me out?
I have a slide where my caracter say that "You can get more information about this and that if you click on the pictures". Then I have created a different state for five pictures. I even have succeeded to add sound to the picture and i have done the triggers so I can see the state when I click on the picture. But I can´t here the sound. :( Please, please, help....

- Hi Michael! And many thanks for your answer. It helped me a lot! I figured out how to to it. Now I have a baselayer with a person that tells the listners to click on one of the pictures to find out more. Then I made a layer for each picture where I put the sound. Clicking on the picutre is the trigger to change layer. I also use states to change the caracters. Works out great! Thanks again

Hi Anna, welcome to the community.
You cannot attach (or insert) an audio file directly to an object's state. One option would be to add the object audio to a layer and call this layer when an object is clicked. See attached a quick example with audio on the baselayer, three clickable pictures and audio on layers. You could also have all audio files on the baselayer and use MediaPlay, MediaPause triggers to play an audio file when an object is clicked. Hope that gives you some ideas.
Hi Guys, this conversation should be updated. As of today, you CAN insert audio (.WAV) into a state of an image. I insert a cursor from the icons library, created a state (Click) and added a sound effect of a mouse click for that state.
I did that because the default mouse size is huge and there is no way to fade out the mouse once it has appeared on the screen. So the size tends to obstruct important information on the screen.
Also, there is no way to have ore that one mouse action per screen.
Hi David, I'm trying to figure out how to do this... I've created two states for an images and want a different audio file to play for each state. I simply can't find where this is possible.

Thanks! I will
But I guess it would be better to ask that question in anonther thread? HI Anna,
Totally your call - although a new thread would allow you to modify the title to match what you were asking. You can also feel free to jump into an existing thread that matches or is similar to your question and pose it there. A lot of options.
Well, consider it updated David :)
Thanks for popping in to share with the community.
Welcome to E-Learning Heroes by the way!
In fact, if anyone at all can point me to the right place to add audio to a state, that would be immensely helpful. Thanks!
Hey, Brian! Happy to help you add audio to a state. Try this:
- Create the new state.
- While you're still editing the new state, click Insert >> Audio.
- Select the audio file you want to add to the state. (The audio should appear only in the new state, not in the Normal state.)
- Click Done editing states.
Let me know how it goes!
Thank you, Alyssa!
thank you!
How can I delete an audio from a state? I want to replace one audio with another one but I cannot figure out how to do this
Hello, Vered!
Try opening the state by clicking the States tab, then Edit States. Then, you should see the audio file.
Right-click the audio file, and select Replace Audio. From there, you can choose the new audio file you want to add to the state.
