How to control audio on slides
Oct 29, 2013
Dear Heroes,
Picture this: A set of new buttons on my project skin, a client's request. It looks like this:
Now the catch, the "music / sound" icon is supposed to control when one wants to play the sound on the slide or not. Problem: there are two separate audio files on the same slide. When the user clicks the button the audio is paused but then, a few seconds later the second audio kicks in...Can anyone help? Thanks!
Ernesto.

You can place the sounds on separate layers and use triggers to "Show" the appropriate layer when needed. It sounds like you would attach the triggers to the music/sound icon.
This is how I would set it up:
This will cause the first sound to stop and the second to start. If you want a delay between the 2 sounds, you can move the second audio to begin later in the timeline.
Hi Ernesto! Looks like Josh is taking care of you here, just let us know if you need anything further.
Hi Leslie,
Yes, he is! Many thanks indeed! Unfortunately his solution does not apply to my query.
Now my query is: Is it possible that a built-in button controls all audio, I mean, there are over three pieces of audio, on a slide so that they are either, played, paused or stopped and the user may only read?
This is because a client of mine wants his courses to have internal navigation and comply with handicapped regulations. Here is what I am working with: http://goo.gl/lFyc6m By the way, it's in Spanish, though! I attach my file in this message.
I look forward to reading from you,

Dear Heroes!,
I toyed around with Josh's piece of advice...Enlightening indeed! The solution is: two slides, some triggers!. Here is a view:
I decided to share this with you, thanks. Read you always! Ernesto.
Awesome Ernesto! Glad you were able to get this sorted and thanks for sharing your solution with everyone
