I have a screen that features 4 layers, when the screen is first visited you will get the audio giving instructions on how to find out more (clicking 4 icons).
Once a user has clicked on one of the icon they are taken to a layer, when finished they click on the 'x' to retun to the main screen.
How do I stop the audio playing again when they return to the screen? They will potentially visit this screen 4 times before moving on to the next screen & I don't want to keep replaying the audio instructions.

Hi Helen,
Create a variable called "audioplayed", (or whatever) - make it True/False, initially set to False.
Create a Trigger on each of the 4 layers that says "Change variable value of Autoplayed to True when Timeline ion layer starts.
Create a Trigger on the Base Layer that says "Play Audio on Timeline start slide x when Valiableaudioplayed = False.
That way, if it is True, it does not get re-played when they get back to it.
Hopefully that makes sense.

PS - have the 4 icons appear at the end of the initial audio, so that they listen to it! I usually say something like "When they appear, click on...."
Many thanks, once I have the audio imported I will give it a go
Thank you, thank you, thank you! That worked when nothing else would.
