Audio FIle

Hi Yun...

Have you tried to change the revisiting option to "Initial state" in the base layer options?

Or you could ad a trigger that says "Play media when timeline starts"...

Hoping this helps you...

Hi, Yun -- To follow up on Cedric's suggestions, I wanted to share this information, "Storyline's "When Revisiting" Slide Property Explained", as the article contains lots of details and additional links you may find of interest. Hope that helps!

I tried to change revisiting option and add a trigger to play media when time starts, however, it doesn't work. 

I have attached a file here. The audio in main slide plays when first review this slide. However, when I reviewed other layer slides and come back to main slide, the audio doesn't play. Please see the attachment. Thanks very much for all the help. 

Regards,

Yun

Here it is!

I think the problem came from the trigger you put on square 1 that was stopping the media... Instead, try to use the "Pause base layer" feature in the layers option (see attached file)...

Remember that when you insert an audio file, it will play automatically until you add a trigger to start it... So in your particular case, you finally don't need a trigger to start the media on base layer.

I also assume that what you wanted to do, is to resume playing of the audio on base layer if user cliks on a square before the end...

Does the attached solution works for you?

Hi Cedric,

Thanks for your help.  in my story, the audio file from main slide plays simultaneously as the audio file in the layer slides. This is why I set up a trigger to stop the media play in my main slide. Your attached file is exactly what I want, but I didn't see what you did to make it happen. I didn't see any trigger you set up to pause/resume the media. Can you please clarify it a little bit? 

Thanks,

Yun

Actually, I simply used the function in the layer's option that called "Pause base layer"...

You can see it in action here...

Hope it clarifies... :)

It worked!!!! 

Thanks very much for your help! I really appreciate it...
