Don't replay sound when returning to slide?

Hello Gina,

You can create a T/F variable that tracks whether the audio file has been played already.

1. Create a T/F variable (playonce) with initial value set to FALSE

2. Add a trigger to the slide that adjusts the variable to TRUE once the media completes

3. Add a trigger to Play the audio file only when the variable is = false.

Hope this helps,

Donna

Here is a quick sample file and the published version is here. See slide 2 for the triggers to play the audio only once.

I am so confused by these T/F variables. I've tried a number of methods now, and I can't seem to get the sound to play at all now. It's a huge file... would I be able to post it for you to look at? If so, would I publish it first, or just post the file as it is?

Gina, post the source file, don't publish it.

Looks like it's too big. Let me try to "save as" and take out a bunch of extra stuff so you can see what's going on. It'll be tomorrow morning...

THANKS!

Hi Gina,

Couldn't this be set in the slide properties? In this screenshot, I circled the setting you might try for revisting the slide. Hope this helps!

I already have the "resume saved state" because my books change state when you click on them. For some reason it's not working with the audio. I pared down the project so I can post it here... if anybody can figure out what I'm dong wrong on the audio track, I'd sure be grateful!

THANKS!

Hi, Gina...

I changed the first set the first trigger to play when the variable is False, and I set the default value of your variable to be false.   The other problem was changing the setting to When Revisiting "Automatically Decide" -- not Resume Saved State.

I modified the Professionalism Basics book, and I added the AudioComplete variable onto the slide to make it easier for you to troubleshoot.

Is this now doing what you hoped?

Yes, that's it! Thank you!!!

I didn't want to modify your book objects or change the current setup of the slide, so I adjusted the triggers for the two books that have audio, to a) immediately stop the main audio and b) set the variable to True that then prevents the audio from being played a second time.

I created some slides with the solution you provided, but I think there is something that did not work. Can you help me? I have attached the slides for analysis.

Hi Pedro,

Can you tell me more about what isn't working correctly in your file?

When I tested it, the audio on slide 1.1 did not replay when I revisited that slide. Here's a screen recording of what I saw. 

Is this different than what you're seeing from your end?
