RESOLVED Play button audio clip before advancing to slide

Jun 05, 2015

I have a button on my slide and added a trigger to jump to another slide once the button is clicked. I want to add a sound effect to my button to makes a "click" noise when the user clicks it.

I have added a trigger to play the media when the user clicks the button, however, it does not play. It only plays if the user returns to to that slide with the button. 

I have tried ordering my triggers so that the "play media" comes before jumping to the slide but that doesn't seem to work.

Any ideas on how to make the media play before the slide advances?

I believe I tried that as well... perhaps I missed a step.

I made a variable and set it to false. I then added a trigger to adjust the variable to true once the media completes. I then add a condition to my button to jump to the slide if my variable is equal to true. Sound like I am following all the steps?

For sure. I have attached an example of what I am trying to do. The media plays for the Layer 1 and Layer 2 buttons because those buttons are showing layers on the same slide.

However, I need the Layer 3 button to go to a different slide... this is the one I am having difficulties with.

Thanks!

Hi Michelle,

I see that you are using Storyline1, I'm on Storyline2, and you won't be able to open up the file. I'll describe what I did to get it to work.

  1. Copy the sound layer and paste it on to the slide again.
  2.  On Oval 3 set a trigger to play the new sound when the user clicks.
  3. Set up a trigger to jump to 1.2Layer3 when the media completes.

I hope this helps.
