Pausing audio with multiple layers - Storyline 360
Sep 13, 2017
Hello,
Hopefully, I'll be able to explain this clearly.
My base layer has audio and also has 3 tabs, which also contains audio.
Base layer - Base_Audio 1
Tab 1: Tab_audio_1
Tab 2: Tab_audio_2
Tab 3: Tab_audio_3
At the end of the base layer audio, the learner is invited to click on each tab.
What I want is the following:
Learner clicks on Tab 1, therefore, Tab_audio_2 and Tab_audio_3 don't play, and the same behavior for Tab 2 and Tab 3.
When I try to add a trigger to Pause or Stop the audio (audio of Tab 2 and 3) when on Tab 1, I don't see the audio files...
What am I missing?
Many thanks,
Julie

I was able to stop the audio files when clicking on another tab. However, if I click on another tab (before the audio ends) and go back to it, it resumes to where it last stopped. I don't want that. When learner clicks on the tabs, I want the audio to restart.
On layer propreties, I have the following selected:
- Hide other slide layers
- Reset to inital state
Hello Julie! Thanks for all the details. Would you be able to share your .story file so that we could take a look?
Hi Leslie,
Unfortunately, info is sensitive nature. But I appreciate the help! I was able to make it work, but not sure if it's the right way...
Glad you were able to make it work. There are so many ways to accomplish your goals in Storyline that I'm not sure if there is a 'right' way to do it :)
I thought I made it work... Not so sure anymore. I got to make the audio on the tab to stop when clicking between tabs, but sometime the seekbar will stop in the middle of the audio, but the audio is still going on.. any thoughts?
When having multiple audio (one on the base layer, and others on several tabs), where should they be all located? All on the base layer ? Or each one to its own layer ?
Thanks,
Julie
Hi Leslie,
I've attached the .story file. I know I'm missing things. Hopefully, you'll be able to tell me what those are !
Hi Julie! It seems to be working as expected when I took a look and I'm not seeing the seekbar stop. Is that on a particular layer or something you could share with me on replicating.
Thanks Leslie, then I must have fixed it ! Thanks for your guidance, it was appreciated!
Haha! Awesome :) Thanks for popping back in with an update Julie!
