I have an audio trigger on a main page with multiple objects. When you click on an object it takes you to that slide. On each slide there is a continue button and a return button. The return button takes you back to the main page where you can choose another object. I don't want the audio to play when you return to the main page, only the first time you are there.
Sam's first suggestion refers to using a True/False variable that changes when the audio is played the first time so that it doesn't play again.
You can add a True/False variable and name it "AudioPlay" for example, and assign it to be False. The first trigger is for a button to play the media if the variable is False. Then, for the same button, add a second trigger to set the variable to True when the button is clicked.
I've also attached a file for you to get a closer look into how this works. Hope this helps!
Hi. I have a slide with two audio clips. I want the 2nd audio clip to begin playing at a cue point. I remember reading something that I can add a hidden object and add a trigger to the object to play media at a specific que point. I can’t seem to find those instructions. Can you pls help?
Hi there, I have the audio on a base later. At a certain point during audio one (@cue point 1) I wanted the user to click on an object and have audio 2 play. I ended up having an object on the slide open a URL to where the video is saved in this worked for me but I thought I read there was a different way that I could do this.

Hi Carol.
I think thats easy. They is more than one solution.
1)
First Trigger:
Play Media "X" if Variable "Y" is false
Second Trigger:
Set Variable "Y" to true
You could also use Layer with the same method.
2)
You could duplicate the main page. The first main page has the audio. All other slides jump always to the second Main Page, with no Audio.
This is so helpful! Thank you Sam.
can you explain a bit more...

Hi Elisabete
do you have both the audio on the base layer or on different layers? It would help if you share the slide and someone can help you.
