How to prevent sound playback in quiz review

Aug 25, 2016

Hi,

I created a quiz where each slide has a voice-over of the question. The voice over is triggered to play whenever the timeline starts on each page. 

The problem is that the voice over even plays when I go to review the quiz.  How can this be prevented?

Any suggestions?

Hi Fazal!

If your question slides include audio or video, you may find that the audio/video plays during quiz review.

By default, question slides will resume where they left off when they're revisited. If you submit an answer before the slide has completed, media on the slide will resume playing where it left off during quiz review.

If you want to prevent media from playing during quiz review, use a variable and a Pause media trigger. Here’s how:

  1. Add a True/False variable to your project to track whether the user is in review mode or not. Set its initial value to False. For the sake of this example, we'll call the variable ReviewMode
  2. Add a trigger to the Review Quiz button on your result slide that changes the value of the ReviewModevariable to True
  3. Move the trigger up so it's the first trigger listed for the Review Quiz button in the Triggers panel.
  4. Add a slide trigger to each of your question slides to Pause Media when the Timeline Starts if theReviewMode variable is True. (Click here to learn more about adding conditions to triggers.)
