I need to jump to layer instead of slide

Layers are generally "shown" or "hidden". I downloaded your project. Which slide are you having the problem on?

After the question, I need it to go back to slide3 but I don't the audio to play.

I see what you mean now.

You might be able to set the Slide Properties to "Resume saved state", but I'm not sure how that would affect the rest of your course. See attached screenshot.

Alternately, I think you could accomplish that easily by creating a variable "audioPlayed" or something like that, set to True or False, set to False as default. Use a trigger on Slide 3 to set that variable to True after the audio has played. And then use another trigger on Slide 3 to play the audio when the Timeline starts ONLY if audioPlayed is set to False. I believe this would make the audio play only on the first visit to Slide 3.

I really need some help creating the correct triggers on the correct slides. I tried and it doesn’t work now.

I do not have a screenshot.

See if the attached project works the way you need it to. It's in Storyline 3 format. Let me know if you were using version 2 instead...

Suzanne, I think I had the same problem recently. I wanted a tab interaction to have a hot spot and the link to show a response on that tab layer, but it kept jumping to the start of the slide.

So, I recreated the tab where I wanted the response to show and put it over a white blank rectangle on the start of the slide. It covered the starting slide so you wouldn't notice it was the beginning of the slide.

Does that sound like it might work for you?

I’m so new to Articulate, I really can’t say.

Hi Suzanne

see if this sample file is what you are after. It uses variables and triggers to control which layer/slide is displayed when Next button is clicked.

It sounds to me like you don't really need to jump to a certain layer. It sounds like what you really want is for the audio not to play a second time. If that's the case. Michael's suggestion is the best.
