Audio: Stopping and starting between the main slide and it slide layers
Jan 05, 2016
Hello Team,
I need help stopping and starting audio on the main slide and the 3 slide layers.
When the main slide initially loads, the audio needs to start.
It needs to stop or pause when the learner clicks on any of the 3 tabs shown, and that layer's audio needs to start.
For example, the main slide is shown and the learner clicks on tab 2 ( layer 2 displays) and the audio for layer 2 plays and the main slide's audio stops/pauses.
The learner can click on tab 3 or tab 1 while viewing layer/tab 2 material. The audio for layer/tab 2 needs to stop and the audio for tab 3 needs to play or resume playing when they click tab 3.
My brain is forgetting something regarding variables or triggers. It's a little fried.
Looking forward to your thoughts (sharing your brain cells! ).
Thank you! :)

Hi Kenneth
try using the pause /resume timeline triggers on the base layer
Hello Wendy,
Thank you for your feedback. I've tried that with no success unfortunately whether it be for video or just an audio file.
I ended up using the Slide "Layer" Properties to "Pause timeline of base layer" which worked.
Have you had luck with video or just audio pausing/stopping and then resuming when hiding a slide layer using your suggestion above? I'd like to hear more about that if you have.
Cheers,
Kenneth
Yeah! Pause timeline of the base layer was exactly what I needed - Thanks!
