Hello! I have three markers on a slide, with an audio file in each. Once each marker is clicked (and the audio files complete), I would like for a separate audio file to play. Is that possible? I tried doing it with a trigger that plays the media once the state of each marker changes to Visited. The problem with that is the audio file overlaps the audio on the markers. I need the audio to play only after the audio files in each marker complete.
I wonder if a layer containing the final audio, triggered to display once a variable reaches a certain value would work for you? The variable could in turn be controlled by media completion on each marker
I tried to test this - and I certainly see the difficulty. Since the audio does not show on the timeline, the state change happens on click, and you cannot control the order/timing the user clicks - I am not sure that this set-up will work.
Hopefully someone in the community will be able to chime in and assist.
However, I had to delete the audio files from the markers and put them on slide layers and add triggers to the markers to show those layers. It worked!

Thank you! I will try that.
I tried setting up adjust variables triggers on markers, but I cannot select the audio files on the markers. Any suggestions?
Hi Shannon!
Would you be able to share your .story file or slide so that we could take a look?
Hi, Leslie,
Because the course is for a client, I cannot share the file. Thank you anyway! I'm still having trouble making this work.

Thanks, Leslie. I ended up figuring out a solution. I used the method described in this discussion: https://community.articulate.com/discussions/articulate-storyline/playing-media-file-after-other-media-on-slide-completes.

Awesome. Thanks for popping back in with an update Shannon :)
No problem!
