Requiring users to finish one audio clip before starting another?

Aug 14, 2013

I have created variables that require users to complete 5 short audio clips before advancing to the next slide but I can't figure out how to keep the user from clicking all 5 in rapid succession and playing them (almost) all at once. How do I keep a second, or third, etc. audio from playing until the first one is finished?

Hi Art!

I believe that e a possible solution could be to:

  • create a variable for each audio clip with a default value of False, for example, Clip1, Clip2, etc.
  • Create a trigger that "adjusts Clip1 variable to false when Media completed on "Sound effect" 
  • Add a trigger on your button that only plays audio clip IF "Clip1 is equal to true"

This way, you can only listen to audio clip 2, once audio clip 1 is complete, etc. I've set up an example .story file for you so you can check out how I achieved this. Let me know if this is indeed what you were looking to accomplish!
