I have 2 audio triggers on one slide--user must listen to both then select which one is the right answer. If you click on one--then click on the other--the audios run at the same time. Is there any way to prevent this from happening? Can I create a delay that the other audio cannot begin until the previous one has finished?
I had a similar problem. The way I see it you have 2 options. You can add a trigger to each (I assume there is a hotspot or something they are supposed to click that triggers the audio file to play) that says
Action: Play media
Media: Sound 1 (for example, whatever you named it)
When: User Clicks
Object: Hotspot 1 (or whatever you want them to click on)
Then for that same hotspot or whatever the thing is that they click, add another trigger that looks like this:
Action: Pause Media
Media: Sound 2 (or whatever you called the second audio)
When: User Clicks
Object: Hotspot 1
Then do the same for the other hotspot, except make that one play Sound 2 and pause Sound 1.
The OTHER option is probably easier, just add 2 more layers to the slide. Put 1 sound on each layer, then on the base layer have the user click on the hotspot or button and have it Show Layer 1 and have Layer 1 have a trigger that says Play Media Sound 1 When timeline Begins - Layer 1. Then do the same for Layer 2. They can't both be visible at the same time, so they won't play over each other.

That's how I did it, anyways.
