"Finish" button present on a slide when audio is near complete

Hello All,

Brand new to the “storyline” world and am just getting my feet wet…Here’s the deal:

It’s the last slide in a deck and I’d like to have “finish” button present when the audio is close to ending.

Currently, I have the last slide show a layer (a “finish” button) present when the audio concludes. The audio is 32 seconds.

Question: How do I get the “finish” button to appear/present, let’s say, 27 seconds into the audio and not waiting till the audio completes?

Hi Dan,

Welcome!

So, I had a couple thoughts. Both involve the timeline. I'm assuming the audio begins at 0 on the timeline and ends at 32, but you would adjust according to where the audio starts.

One thought: if the only thing the layer has on it is the Finish button, you could eliminate the layer, and simply position the button on the timeline at 27 seconds.

Or, if you DO need that layer:

Position a shape offstage on the base layer at the 27 second mark. (offstage means literally off the slide).

Add a trigger to show the layer when the timeline for that shape starts.

Perhaps one of those solutions will work for you.
