Present Finish button before audio completes

Brand new to the “storyline” world and am just getting my feet wet…Here’s the deal:

It’s the last slide in a deck and I’d like to have “finish” button present when the audio is close to ending.

Currently, I have the last slide show a layer (with “finish” button) when the audio completes. The audio is 32 seconds.

Question: How do I get the “finish” button to present, let’s say, at 27 seconds into the audio and not waiting till the audio completes? I don't see another way using the drop downs, it only allows when the "audio completes"?.

I don`t think the Finish button needs to be on a separate layer. You could simply add it to the baselayer`s timeline and set the starting point of the button to x sec. (e.g. 27 sec.)

If you do want to keep your layer, you could add an offstage object that shows the layer (and with that the Finish button) when its timeline starts.
