Hi David,

You could change the state of your slide in the properties to "Resume saved state", I guess it should give you the result you expect.

Don't hesitate to post back if you need further information and have a nice day!

I should have mentioned in my original post, both return to 'initial state' and 'resume saved state' still will playback the audio.  Initial starts you from the beginning of the slide, saved picks up where you left if you left the slide before the audio ended

Add the audio on a layer, set a true false variable, show the layer only when the variable is false, set it to true when media ends, this way the layer only shows when the audio has not completed

Okay... that could be done with a variable.

Probably Steve or Phil could come in and bring new ideas to it, but here is mine:

Create a True/False variable set to "False" by default.

Trigger - When the timeline of the Menu slide starts, adjust variable to "True"

Trigger - When the timeline of the Menu slide starts, stop media "name of the audio file" IF variable is Equal to "True"

Make sure that the triggers are in that specific order.

You should hear the audio file the first time you come to the menu only.

Hope it helps and don't hesitate to post back.

Hi Phil,

Happy you come in this discussion. From what I understand, David doesn't want the audio to resume if it wasn't finished the first time around. If I understood well, the variable could be adjusted when the audio layer starts... right?!?

yep, set a trigger to show layer on timeline start on condtion variable = false, then set a trigger on the layer timeline start to adjust the variable to true

this way it only ever load once

Annie you don't need me or Steve, your solution would work well.  I just jumped the party
